Hi,

I have WinXP and MS Outlook 2003. I tried to configure it as a backup to
Outlook Express 6 and ended up deleting the profile.

Now when I click on the icon, it prompts me to create a profile, then I
click on "cance" and the following messages comes up:
"No profiles have been created. To create a new profile, use the Mail icon
in the Control Panel."

I then click on "OK" and a big red "X" come up with the message:

"Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window.
The server is not available. Contact your administrator if this condition
persists."

I have a Cox email account, and just want to set up Outlook to import 1
identity with 7 email accounts. Please help. Thanks in advance.

How would you consider this as a backup? Outlook Express and Outlook are 2
completely separate applications.

Anyway, remove the mail profile and reconfigure it with the correct
information. Don't use import to import account configurations from Outlook
Express.
