Launching Outlook Prompts Microsoft Exchange Error 1

I've been attempting to get MS Outlook running, since Eudora continues to plague me with puzzling errors. However, when I launch Outlook, a Microsoft Exchange Server box pops up, informing me that I must provide the name of my Exchange server and my mailbox. This is baffling since:
a) I don't have a network connection (I use a dial-up from home), and b) I don't even think I have Microsoft Exchange on this computer.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can prevent this prompt from appearing? Could there be an Exchange file on my computer that I could remove to solve this problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks,
Jeff
 
Right-click on outlook, choose properties. In the window that pops up, highlight Microsoft Exchange Server and click remove. That will stop outlook from trying to connect to the non-existant exchange server. Marc Creviere
 
You can also reconfigure mail support (forget which tab). Choose Internet Only and no Corporate/Workgroup. Dan
