Change Mail Server in Outlook

I just installed Outlook. When going through the wizard, I said that I use
exchange server. Well, that isn't the case. I am using POP mail. Now, every
time I open Outlook it tries to connect to an exchange server that doesn't
exist. It throws an error and closes.

I know how to change the mail server if I could get to the Tools menu, but I
can't get Outlook to open. Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
Thanks for pointing out the Mail applet DL. I didn't know that existed.
Unfortunately, it did not solve my problem.

I opened the applet and created the correct POP3 account, however the applet
will not let me delete the Exchange account. It throws the following error:

"You cannot delete the account containing your mail, contacts and calendar.

You will first need to create a new location for your personal data. From
the File menu, click Data File Management, and then click Add."

I can't open OL to make that change.

Perhaps I am barking up the wrong tree. Here is the error I get when I open
OL:

"The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. OL must be
online or connected to complete this action."

Click to expand...

You do that in the same Mail applet - click on Data Files and add a Personal
Data file. Then set that as the default delivery location, then in the same
place delete the exchange account.
