Thank you for your reply.
I have several email profiles, and have already deleted the Exchange
profile. It still says "Offline" with the error message (see below)
preventing me from using Rules and Alerts."

Thanks,

Erik

Create a new mail profile in Control Panel-Mail Icon-Profiles. Configure
it with your mail account. Then go back and delete your Exchange profile.
