I'm trying to set up three email accounts in Outlook on my computer and I've found that Outlook seems to have an endless supply of error messages. I really need you guys to help me out.

Account #1
cb@company.com

Account #2
su@company.com (same company as account 1, but separate account)

Account #3 (live account)
user@live.com



All three accounts are Microsoft Exchange enabled. All three are set up on my phone with ms exchange enabled and work flawlessly, with instant push emails. But I feel like I'm in hell trying to do the same on my computer.

On my computer (Outlook 2007 / Windows 7 32bit / Exchange 2007):
At first I found that you cannot set up two exchange accounts in outlook. Following settings I configure in CP > Mail because it doesn't allow me to configure exchange while outlook is running. Then I found out about Outlook profiles and have created three profiles within outlook, one for each email account, to avoid the one exchange limit per outlook profile problem. Account #1 is set up and works flawlessly. I'm trying to set up Account #2 in another profile and I keep getting this error:

I searched for it on google, found http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913843, i have dled and installed the MS fix it thing. Problem still exists. What do I do?


Thanks.

icelag,

To help troubleshoot these errors, can you answer some questions about your account #2;

1. Is the email address of account 2 the Primary email address of the mailbox? Not an alias.

2. Is the mailbox of account 2 the same mailbox of account 1?

3. When configuring the account 2 as an Exchange account, can you manually set it up? This requires the server location, proxy server information, as well as user credentials to build the profile.

4. have you confirmed Account 2 is an exchange ready mailbox?

Keep me posted.

You might consider upgrading to Outlook 2010. It supports multiple Exchange accounts per profile and might be the best/simplest solution.
