Problem configuring Exchange

Sorry to be a bother. I have been trying, off and on, for several weeks to
get my account working. I have downloaded and installed Outlook 2007 from
your website. I installed a POP 3 account to test Outlook, and it is working.

When I follow the instructions on your website using "Auto Account Setup", I
get stuck when I "click next to contact my e-mail server and configure my
internet service provider or Microsoft Exchange server account settings."

The utility does an "Online search for server settings". This search
results in an error: "An encrypted connection to your mail serer is not
available. Click Next to attempt using an unencrypted connection." Which I
do, resulting in the following: "Problem connecting to Server". I am
offered the choice of "retry" or checking the box "Manually configure server
settings".

I have tried numerous combinations of possible "Exchange Server" (mostly
EXVBE014-15.exch014.msoutlookonline.net)and "User Name". All of which result
in: "The action cannot be completed. The connection to Microsoft Exchage is
unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action."

Can you provide any suggestions?

Kind regards,

John
 
Note that this is a peer-to-peer newsgroup and that you are not addressing
Microsoft here.

Where exactly do you have your Exchange hosting (if at all)?
You should contact your ISP/mail admin for the correct server settings.
There is no way we can know those for you.
 
Hi Robert,

I have sent a dozen e-mails to my provider, without a reply, including the
one I sent to you. Does the following help?

Configuring your Exchange Client manually.
To configure your Exchange Client manually use the information below:
MS Exchange Server Name: EXVBE014-15.exch014.msoutlookonline.net
Server Domain Name: EXCH014
Server IP Address: 207.5.72.45

I have tried using the server info, and that is when I have the problem.
