I am trying to set up a new e-mail account on Outlook and a message keeps
popping up stating that I need to be online and it keeps asking for my
Microsoft Exchange server but I don't know what this is.

If you're not in a business organization that uses Microsoft Exchange as
their mail server, don't use this feature when you create your profile.

You must have an active internet connection when using Outlook and you
shouldn't be working in offline mode. I think you should find that in File
Work Online/Offline. I'm not 100% sure, please include your version of
Outlook.

Use the Mail applet in Control Panel. Have any accounts, any type,
already defined? If so, is one of them an Exchange account? If you
aren't using Exchange, delete that account. If you aren't using
Exchange, and if an Exchange account type was defined, how did it get
defined?

Use tha Mail applet in Control Panel to remove the Exchange account from the
mail profile and add the account you want.
