outlook server is microsoft exchange and I need it to be pop3

[Chad Young]

I followed the posted advice of creating a new pop3 profile and made it my
default setting. I now have two settings: Microsoft Exchange and a pop 3
(default setting). Unfortunately, I still cannot open Outlook because it is
still looking for a Microsoft Exchange that does not exist. I cannot remove
this profile because it contains my email, calendar and contacts - according
to my computer. Actually, everything is empty because the computer is brand
new; therefore, I am willing to destroy this setting if it will allow me to
use Outlook.

Can you remove the Exchange Server here: Control Panel > Mail applet?

 

[Chad Young]

No. This is where I created the new pop3 profile. I tried to remove the
microsoft exchange profile, but I get the message that "you cannot remove the
profile that contains your email, contacts, and calendar" or something
similar.
I appreciate your thought though...other ideas?

just make a new profile with only the pop account.
