Hi,
Everytime I want to connect my school e-mail address to Outlook, they tell me to use the Microsoft Exchange Server option when creating a new account.
When I do that, I get this message:
“You cannot add a Microsoft Exchange account to this profile while Outlook is running. Please exit Outlook and use the Mail icon in the Control Panel to add a Microsoft Exchange account.”
Do you know how to add this account?
Thanks.
Edit: I have Windows Vista 64-Bit
June 15, 2008 at 5:01 pm #170106DavidParticipantSo have you tried adding it via Control Panel? The option is there. I only use Exchange on XP and haven’t had to configure it this way before.
June 15, 2008 at 5:37 pm #170110Stanford_2007MemberThat’s part of the problem. I can’t find where it’s located on the Control Panel.
June 15, 2008 at 7:58 pm #170107DavidParticipantSorry about that – I have it listed off the start menu.
You’ll have to either:
– Select “switch to classic view” and click “Mail”
– Search in the control panel for “Mail”
– type “Mail” into the start menu. Select “Mail”, not “Windows Mail”June 15, 2008 at 10:56 pm #170111Stanford_2007MemberHm..that’s weird.
The only mail I see is Windows Mail.
June 16, 2008 at 12:02 am #170108DavidParticipantWhat version of Vista/Outlook are you using?
June 16, 2008 at 12:18 am #170112Stanford_2007MemberI’m using Outlook 2003 and Vista 64-bit. Are those two not compatible or something like that?
June 16, 2008 at 12:31 am #170109DavidParticipantTry going to start > run:
control “c:program filesmicrosoft officeoffice11mlcfg32.cpl”
That works for Office 12 (what I have), I’m not sure if that file is there otherwise. Give it a shot though, if it errors, see if the file exists at that path.

I often work with MS Outlook and for this time I have seen a lot of problems. But yesterday I was really shocked, reason of all my new emails were destroyed no one knew how. Couple hours i didn’t know what to do next. Thankfully I was discovering on a internet portal and absolutely by chance came across an utility – outlook pst file conversion. I used it and was very glad. It resolved my problem for seconds and free of cost as I kept in mind.
