Can't set up OutlookI have tried and tried to set up Outlook but always get the following
(paraphrased): "Setting up Welcome." When that goes away, it says, "Can't find server. Must be connected to Internet." Then, "Checking name." It just won't work. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you, State what you have done up until now. A new installation of Outlook does
not do this unless you changed something. You appear to have configured Outlook with a transport that is not valid. What did you do? Specify your Outlook version when you post a question. -- Show quoteRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "D Wilson" <DWil***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:52C23EB0-623C-4C15-AE39-87D0B911E8AD@microsoft.com... >I have tried and tried to set up Outlook but always get the following > (paraphrased): "Setting up Welcome."

Want to use Outlook (it's 2003). I go to Start,
Programs, Office, click on Outlook. Small window: "Configuring Outlook Accounts." Under that: "Creating welcome message." Error message comes up: The connection to Microsoft Server is unavailable. Outlook must be onlie or connected to complete this action. Clicked OK. Another window: "Microsoft Exchange Server." Within this window: --I.D.'s my computer and -- gives user name (me). Checked name. Window: "Once names have been checked and are underlined click OK. Clicked OK. Last window: "The name could not be resolved. The connection to the Microsoft Exchange server is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action." I will settle for resolving this issue which my ISP tried to help me with: When clicking on a link in OE the page appears BEHIND OE and I have to minimize OE to view the linked page. Also, when trying to switch identities OE allows me to successfully do this one out of ten times. Obviously, OE also 2003.

that already contains the Exchange Server transport (which you clearly would not be e using). A new installation of Outlook would not contain any transport whatsoever and would let you select the correct transport. Create a new Outlook profile from scratch and this time be sure you select the correct mail transport. -- Show quoteRuss Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "D Wilson" <DWil***@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B22EE775-E3D7-4A17-8170-FC488ADDF580@microsoft.com... >I have been using OE.
