Outlook 2003 Configuration Problem

[Gens]

When i am trying to open oulook to configure, the following error message is
poping up "Unable to open your default e-mail folders. Outlook could not
start because a data file to send and receive mail could not be found. To add
a data file, such as a personal folder file, double-click the Mail icon in
Windows Control Panel". I tried the same from control panel, but i am not
able to create a new Data file.

Please help me on resolving this issue.

So what happens when you use the mail applet to add a new data file?

I am not getting any options to create new data file. When I clicks to add
new data file, the pop up shows a blank field. Because of that the button is
not activated.

Use the mail applet to create a new Profile, are you then able to add a data
file?

I have the same issue. The mail applet does not help. i have created a
profile and deleted pofiles 6 times. then, i press data file and the only
button available is add, but when i press this button, the box :new outlook
data file" types of storage is blank. I cannot choose any type and the ok
button is not available.

I had business contact manager, i deleted. Did that cause the problem?

HELP,
