Outlook 2007 help? Profile and MS Exchange problems

Factual Questions
1

I am unable to open Outlook 2007. I get the error message: The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook much be online or connected to complete this action. Here is the background/genesis of this problem:

Last week, I was unable to send email. I could receive. I have two profiles in my Outlook, one is an MS Exchange profile, the other is a pop3 profile.

When I checked the send/receive status I got an error message that an object could not be found. Microsoft.com told me to re-create my profile. So, I followed it’s directions after confirming the MS Exchange server name and the pop3 incoming and outgoing mailboxes so I could replicate what I already had.

I re-created the profiles, but could still not send email (via either account). Stupidly, I rebooted my computer and now… I can’t open Outlook at all.

Thoughts?

ETA: My internet connection is fine. I’ve been accessing both of my email accounts via webmail. I am able to send and receive via webmail with no problems.

Try removing and adding (or repairing) your exchange acount from Control Panel | Mail | Email Accounts, without doing it from Outlook.

3

That’s what I did. I wasn’t clear on that.

4

What is the error when starting? Try deleting all profiles in control panel and then start outlook.

5

Why would you need to specify POP3 and SMTP servers? Exchange uses neither when communicating with Outlook.

6

Because my second email account is not an Exchange account.

I will try this when I get in to work tomorrow.
