How do I unconfigure Outlook 2000 to not use MS Exchange server in favor of internet email instead

J

Well, I'm stumped!

The instructions given by MS article 195507 to switch from Corporate
Workgroup (CW) mode to Internet Mail Only (IMO) are:

To change the installation type from CW to IMO, follow these steps: 1.On the
Tools menu, click Options.
2.On the Mail Services tab, click Reconfigure Mail Support.
3.On the E-mail Service Options page, click to select the mail support
option you are switching to. Click Next.
4.Read the warning message and then click Yes. Outlook will close.
5.Start Outlook. The Windows Installer will start and install the required
files


However, under Tools, options is greyed out and not selectable.

Now what do I do? How do I get to "Reconfigure Mail Support?"

I found the answer by using the Control Panel/Mail applet to simply delete
the CW mode and set the mode to Internet Mail. I also added the personal
databases as well.

It worked like a champ.
