Setting up Outlook 2003 for the first time
I'm having trouble setting up Outlook for the first time (I've always used
Outlook Espress). The first popup message I receive is "The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." I click OK, then another popup named "Microsoft Exchange Server" - with a "General" tab . . . where I have to type Microsoft Exchange Server: and Mailbox: (with Check Name) beside it. I put my "pop.east.cox.net" in the server box and my email name in Mailbox . . . hit OK, that box disappears and I get the popup that says, "Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The fileC:\Documents and Settings . . . . . . . . . Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\outlook.ost is not an offline folder file." I click OK and Outlook closes. Thus . . . I've not been able to get into or set up Outlook. Any help would be most appreciated.
