Can't add Exchange Server in Outlook, only IMAP / POP3 avail

[NorthWire]

An administrator from a former company deleted my main Exchange Server
account from my Outlook (Office 2000 Pro). Now I need to configure the
Exchange Server Account again, but in profiles and in Outlook/Accounts, it
will only ever let me add as an IMAP or POP3 account. I have tried this both
though Outlook/Tools/Accounts and Control Panel/Mail. Help??

You need to reconfigure Outlook 2000 to use Corporate/Workgroup mode. To switch between modes, choose Tools | Options | Mail Services, and then click the Reconfigure Mail Support button.

If you're going from IMO mode to CW, the POP accounts and PST files will transfer to a new profile just fine. IMAP accounts may also transfer, but they'll be receive only.
