[G4] Panther, Outlook (exchange version)

[Wilkin, Wayne (Mass)]

This is getting stranger by the minute. The outlook setting in the control
panels folder does link to the original. But I did try your suggestion,
still no luck. The other thing I tried was to delete the prefs for exchange
and just launch outlook. When you do this w/no prefs it launches the setup
stuff. Now for a different error. As I even write things this issue is
changing. I was about to say that I get a error message saying that the
files that need to be written could not be. Making me think it's a
permissions problem. So I got into the terminal and ran a ls on both my jag
outlook directories and my panther. Didn't even get a chance to check out
the printouts. But anyway's the app just quit from the above could not be
written error. Then I decided to just try to launch outlook again. It then
went thru all the server part of the setup, set it up, and it works. If it
does I will send you a step by step without all the above confusion. Wayne.
