A lack of response usually means:
-- No one knows the answer.
-- The answer is, "No you can't do that," and everyone is tired of giving that answer.
-- The question is an FAQ, and everyone is tired of giving the answer. (Unlikely, because most of the MVPs, at least, can answer an FAQ in just a few seconds.)
-- No one understands your question. You can help by making sure you've provided Outlook version and mail configuration details, exact text of any error messages, and other detailed problem symptoms. You can always reply to your own message to give more information or rephrase the questions.
-- Everyone is busy putting out fires or laying in the hammock. The newsgroups are peer-to-peer forums, after all, and everyone who participates has a real life waiting for them somewhere.
While you're waiting, why not search the archives at
http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=lang_en&safe=off&group=microsoft.public.outlook to see if someone has already provided an answer to a similar question earlier?
