Thank you so much for posting this...I was pulling my hair out after
reinstalling Outlook and still getting the same error message...

This allowed me to get control of the situation, delete the troublesome
account, and set up the account the way I wanted to. Thank you.

Use the Mail applet in Control Panel (under User Accounts) to set up your profile to use only a POP account, not an Exchange account.

I installed Outlook 2003 on my home machine, and tried to import the setup
from my Office machine, which is configured to go to an Exchange server. I
can't access this server from home, so I only want to set up for POP3 access.
Starting Outlook at home, it looks for the Exchange Server and won't proceed
unless it gets one. It closes when I cancel the request for an Exchange
Server ID, so I can't work on deleting that email account and setting up what
I need. How can I force the Configuration Wizard to start up when I start
Outlook at home, or get rid of the current specification? I'm comfortable
with Registry updating.
