Outlook 2007, Exchange Server 2003, Vista

Many seem to have similar or related problems but I haven't been able to find
an answer that helps me.

Background: New Laptop with Vista Home Premium, MS Office 2007 installed and
my office runs Exchange Server 2003 (fully patched as far as I know).

Problem: Cannot connect Outlook to the exchange server using HTTP (had no
problems with old laptop running XP).

Facts: (i) finding my mail box/username on the Exchange Server during the
Mail setup process on my laptop - no problem; (ii) setting up the connection
using HTTP via proxy settings - no problem; (iii) completeing the Mail setup
- no problem.

Symptoms: When I open up Outlook, I get prompted for username/pwd (so far so
good), but that's it! Either Outlook times out without ever opening up or I
get error messages, the most common being: "Cannot open your default
email-folders. Your must connect to Microsoft Exchange with the current
profile before you can synchronize your folder with your offline folder
files."

Additional Info: (i) accessing the exchange server via Outlook Web - no
problem; (ii) Outlook accessing the exchange server via VPN connection - no
problem.

Very grateful for any help.
Thx
