I don't know my microsoft exchange sever so I can't put in the right user
name. What should I do?
 
Version of Outlook?

Close outlook. Go to control panel, mail and delete the current profile and
make a new profile - Choose the correct account type - for most people its
POP3, but could be IMAP. If you need more assistance with this we need to
know the version of Outlook and who your email provider is.

What if I don't have POP3 or IMAP?

If you have a Microsoft Exchange server (or don't know whether you do or
not) then you should ask your IT department to help you set it up. If you
don’t have one, then you shouldn't set up one. Use POP3 or IMAP instead.

What type of mail account do you have?
If you want a "no mail" profile, delete the exchange acct and add a pst to
the profile.

Then you have Exchange and should follow Ben's instructions in his first
sentence. Since you're not the Exchange admin, you'll have to ask the
Exchange admin for the valid settings to use.
 
You can see now after multiple emails going back and forth that including
the details of what you're trying to accomplish would have been very
helpful. To say right in the beginning that you have a Hotmail account would
have helped everyone to resolve this far more quickly.
