How do I use Outlook calendar w/o setting up an email acct?

[Linda]

I have Windows7 OS.
I upgraded to MSO 2007.
I cannot access the calendar, etc. without setting up an email profile which
my ISP will not allow using the email address.
How can I use my calendar and other features without using Outlook email? I
could use the calendar on previous versions without setting up an email
account.

Your ISP has nothing to do with using / configuring Outlook
Who is your ISP?

AT&T. I didn't think I needed to use my email in order to access the calendar.
Just need to access my calendar as I don't need to use the email at this time.

Then just start the account creation process and cancel the dialog when it
asks for the email address.

Sorry, that didn't work. It came up with a dialogue box AFTER I told it I
wanted to use the calendar but not email. Clicked ok, then when I tried to
open Outlook, it came up with another messsage: "Cannot open your default
email folders. The informaiton store could not be opened." It did allow me
to create a Personal Folders pst file. That's when i got the last message.

Then just start the account creation process and cancel the dialog when it
asks for the email address.

Go into control panel, mail and make a new profile.
