Problem with exchange server vs IMAP

Hola,
I’m working in an standalone PC at home with XP PRO and Outlook 2003. I’m
connecting to my pop3 mail server via internet. For a while (a few months) I
had been disconnected from internet and I activated the work offline feature
(I had a message reporting the failure to connect every five minutes). After
I reconnected to Internet, I have no problem to receive or send messages from
Outlook but I’m unable to disconnect the “work offline feature”, and I cannot
modify the rules, cannot use internet links (as mailto), and others features.
Every time I try I received two kinds of messages: “you have an older version
of Microsoft exchange server mail service. Create a new profile” or “Your
profile is not configured”.

The profile I use is the default one. I the only person to use the computer,
the account I use as only one mail profile. I never touched it. I try to
make a new outlook data file but I only have the possibility to do a
Microsoft Exchange Server one, not a IMAP and if I try to define a new
profile the situation is the same I not offered the possibility of creating
an IMAP service.

Nota Bene: my data file continues to be the original one, a pst file. I have
never been connected to an exchange server, and I had never defined an
exchange account.

How can I reverse to the previous situation with an IMAP service account?
Gracias.

you'll need to add a new acct to your profile to 'convert' a pop account to
an imap acct.

Hola Diane,

The problema is not between IMAP and POP accounts. The problems is that I
was working only with POP and IMAP accounts and now everything is based in
Exchange server (I not connected to any exchange server). I’m unable to
deactivated it.

Gracias,
