Hello,
Just got a new computer for work with windows 8 and office 2013 and I have an issue with Outlook trying to setup my Exchange email account.
When i try configure my exchange account I receive the following msg:
"The connection to Microsoft Exchange is currently unavailable. Outlook must be connected or online to complete this action".
I used all the settings from my old computer (windows 7, outlook 2010), including connection via Outlook Anywhere.
One of the differences I noticed is that in my old computer, under the Microsoft Exchange "connection" tab I had more options, like choosing the type of connection etc., while here under windows8/outlook 2013 I see only "Outlook
anywhere" and "exchange proxy settings".
It really seems outlook is not able to reach the exchange server even if obviously the computer is connected to the network.
Also tried to remove and reinstall the email profile but the error persists.
Any suggestion on how to fix this?
Many thanks in advance,
Stefano
