"Unable to open your default e-mail folders. The file
C:\Documents and settings\%username%\local settings\
application data\microsft\outlook\outlook.ost cannot be
accessed. You must connect to your Microsft exchange
server computer at least once before you can use your
offline folder file."

workstations please help as the laptop is soon to

Try deleting the OST file:

Close Outlook
Search the hard drive for
*.ost
(be sure to search in hidden files)
Then delete it (or all that you find)
Open Outlook

A new OST file will be created when you open
Outlook.

Also check where you have the client configured
for mail delivery.
