outlook will not load. keeps asking for a exchange server. even after
reloading the software suite. there seems to be a file that is not being
deleted. even after a reload the same error appears.
this is the message i get
unable to open default email folder C:\Documents and settings\user
name\local settings\application data\microsoft\outlook\outlook.ost is not a
valid offline folder.

it says that it cannot connect to the pop3 server or the smtp server I've
check the settings with another computer that worlks fine and the're the same

I am having the same problem at my home computer. One e-mail address can
send and receive, but I cannot add another user : I get the same pop3server
message when setting up. If you find a solution, please post it. Thanks.
