I have a problem that I can’t understand and resolve. I am Using WinXP Pro
SP2. and Outlook 2003. on both my Desktop and in my Laptop. Following the
same procedure described here my Desktop works like a charm connecting and
downloading my email from the Exchange Server and other e mail accounts. My
lap top does not connect to the Microsoft Exchange Server.
Why doesn’t the Laptop communicate with the MS Exchange Server?
Set up a Microsoft Exchange Server mail account.
Control panel -> Mail/Fax -> Show profiles-> Add
Built my profile. And set it as use always.
Next went to Email Accounts -> set up a new account -> Microsoft Exchange
Server
Entered:
xxxserver.xxxxx.xxx
Entered user id:
(mailbox id in the server) Xxxxxxx
Clicked More Settings -> Connections tab-> Selected: Connect to my Exchange
mailbox using HTTP ->Exchange Proxy settings -> Under Use this URL to connect
to my proxy server for Exchange entered:
xxxx.xxxxxxx.com
Selected: Connect using SSL only
And then under Principal name for proxy server entered:
msstd:xxxx.xxxxxxx.com
Selected the Authentication. And clicked OK, OK, Next, Finish.
Launched Outlook 2003 on screen a block with the:
XXXXXX\Xxxxxx
And asked for the password entered it.
And after some time I get the message>
“The name could not be resolved. The connection to the Microsoft Exchange
Server is unavailable. Outlook must be on line or connected to complete this
action.â€
If I just open the IE browser and enter the
“https://xxxx.xxxxxxx.com/exchange†address I get immediately to the logon
screen where I can enter the user id (mailbox) and the password and it takes
me right on to my mailbox.
So I know my laptop has connectivity. What am I doing wrong?
Any and all help would be very much appreciated.
