pop up window blocks my email!

I am using Outlook 2003 as my email program. When checking my office email
from home on another computer via the internet thru an exchange server, I
cannot open any of my email messages due to a message that comes up at the
bottom left screen coupled with the Internet Explorer icon "e" which states:
"pop up window blocked". This will not allow me to open any of my messages.
No matter what I try, I am unable to access my messages. I am using Windows
XP as my operating system at home and at work and I have disabled my Norton,
disabled pop up blockers and tried many ways to resolve this matter and to no
avail. The interesting thing is that when I use another computer running
Windows 98 to check this same email via the internet, I have no problem
opening all of my messages and attachments. Could this be a problem with XP
or? Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

This doesn't sound like you're using Outlook 2003, but Outlook Web Access.
Put the domain of the Exchange server in your Trusted Zone and allow pop-ups
in that zone.
 
How so I put Pops-ups that I want in the trusted zone? Foxy

First check your pop-up clocker first. In IE, click Tools>Internet Options
and select the Privacy tab. Click the "Settings" button at the bottom to
the right of "Block pop-ups". Do you see any allowed sites? You could try
entering the domain of your Exchange server to the "Address of Web site to
allow" field and clicking Add, then trying OWA again.

Next, check your Local Intranet zone first. Click Tools>Internet
Options>Security. Click "Local intranet" and click Sites. My opinion is
that all three boxes you'll see should be checked. Normally, your PC and
the Exchange server are within the same Intranet and the check boxes should
allow it to be considered local. The Local zone's settings should be enough
to allow proper access to OWA.

If this doesn't help, write back.
