I reinstalled outlook 2000. when i first used it, it went
through some setup options. I don't really remember
specifically what options I chose but I tried to connect
it to my companies outlook web access address. Aparently
this was the wrong thing to do. All I can do is work
offline.

How do I reset outlook to just run like it normally would
without looking for a server?
 
Remove the bogus account in Control Panel-> Mail

I did this. I removed everything in there. Now I get
this when Outlook starts:

Unable to open your default e-mail folders. Outlook could
not start because a location to send and receive mail
could not be found. To add a location, such as a personal
folder file, double-click the Mail icon in Windows Control
Panel.

And I end up in Offline mode still, no calendar, contacts,
or anything.

How do I get Outlook to go back through it's initial setup
procedure? I've tried reloading it, rebooting, etc. but
it never goes back through it's initial setup procedure to
give me a chance to do it right.
 
If all the accounts are removed you can add a new one in Control Panel->
Mail as well. Don't forget to add a pst-file so the message can be delivered
to it.
