Unable to add OWA account to outlook 2007

[97DT]

Hi!

I've got a university OWA account that I want to use outlook 2007 with
I can't manage to get it working, it's come up with various messages
such as outlook has to be closed to add email accounts and that i
cannot connect to the server.

Here's the info I can find on my OWA account:

Mailbox owner: [[email protected]]
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.1; en-GB; rv:1.9.2
Gecko/20100115 Firefox/3.6
Outlook Web Access experience: Basic
User language: English (United Kingdom)
User time zone:
Exchange mailbox address: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Outlook Web Access host address: https://webmail.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk/owa
Outlook Web Access version: 8.2.234.1
Outlook Web Access host name: webmail.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk
Client Access server name: xxxxxx.xxxnet.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk
Exchange Client Access server .NET Framework version: 2.0.50727.3603
Client Access server operating system version: Microsoft Windows N
5.2.3790 Service Pack 2

Microsoft Exchange Client Access server version: 8.2.176.0
Client Access server language: en-US
Client Access server time zone: GMT Standard Time
Microsoft Exchange Client Access server platform: 64bit
Mailbox server name: xxxxxx.xxxnet.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk
Mailbox server Microsoft Exchange version: 8.2.176.0
Other Microsoft Exchange server roles currently installed on the Clien
Access server:
Authentication type associated with this Outlook Web Acces
session: Basic
Public logon: No

The user name I use to logon is different my email address, and I pu
that into outlook too.

Here's what I do...

Control panel/mail/new/Microsoft exchange, pop3 imap http/manuall
configure account

Then I enter webmail.xxxxxxxx.ac.uk as the microsoft exchange serve
and my user name. I don't edit any settings. I get a message sayin
"The action cannot be completed. The connection to the microsof
exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected t
complete this action."

I can't do it with outlook open. So where do I go from here?

Thanks for any help

Do you have the Exchange Server installed on your computer???

I don't think I have that... should I install it and try again? Where
can I download it from?

The fastest solution would be to talk to your university's computing
services department.

This is, in my opinion, not really an Outlook installation question, but
rather a helpdesk ticket specific to your university environment.

You need to speak with the university's IT staff. It's very possible that
they do not allow external access via the Outlook client, only OWA. The IT
staff can tell you how to configure it.
