Guest Sandy Posted July 15, 2008 Posted July 15, 2008 In my pictures I am trying to send pictures via e-mail and click on Send this file by e-mail. I get the error message of "Connection to microsoft exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action" I am using Outlook express and have no idea why this message is coming up. When I click on the OK a box comes up titled Microsoft Exchange and asks for my Microsoft Exchange Server and my mailbox. I have no idea what to put in and have tried several things and then check the "check name" box but I then get the error message "The name cannot be resolved. Connection to microsoft exchange is unavailabe. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action" Is there someone that can help? Thank you, Sandy -- Sandy
