Outlook default email folders unable to open

okay, I got a different message now.  another pop-up box when I attempt to open outlook:
Cannot start Microsoft office Outlook.  Unable to open the Outlook window.  The set of folders could not be opened.

A different message after what?

when I attempt to open outlook.  It starts to open, then the pop-up box comes up.  I click "OK" on it and outlook closes, just like before with the other pop-up box.

Try to reconfigure (like you did before) and answer if it is Exchange? and can the server resolve the user?

It's exchange, and I'm installing this on the machine, not through the server.

ok, I've tried all you said, I'm still unable to open outlook cuz it says the it can't open the default email folders.  it's got a pst on the profile, I've tried doing the start/run the scanpst.exe command.  A pop-up box comes up when I do that, it says: Windows cannot find "Program".  Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again.  To search for a file, click the Start Button and then click Search
What am I doing wrong?  This is driving me crazy.  I've installed Office a hundred million times, never had this particular problem.  help???

I finally got outlook to open, but it keeps wanting me to logon to the exchange server, which none of my users should have to do.  I try to log on like it's asking, but it keeps asking me to log on, over and over again.  Outlook, on the bottom right, says all folders are up to date, but it won't connect ("trying to connect").
What now?

when I click cancel on this Pop-up box, outlook says it's offline.  When I attempt to take it off of offline (connect), it goes right to the log on popup, which won't let me logon, even as an administrator.

Wily guy,

sorry for not answering you...yes, the username is resolved.  The profile is created and shows up, the only problem I have now is that I can't get outlook to work online.  It's constantly offline.  It keeps wanting me to logon to the exchange server.

I can't "start/run", says the file doesn't exist.  I go to "My Computer, and follow the path that way, so I really don't understand this.

Do you have Outlook Web Access?  Can the user login to that?


I am wondering because it isn't a Domain computer, that it can't authenticate properly.

well, it is on the network.  The user is only using her personal laptop because the other one is so slow, and it enables her to work from home as well.  So it is part of the domain.  It's got an IP address and can access the web and all that.  It's only outlook that doesn't seem to work.
I have a profile created, it underlined the name when I created the profile, so it's authenticated.  I just can't get it to work online.  It no longer says it can't open default email folders.  Now it just makes me logon, but it doesn't do anything when I do that.  It just pops up with the logon pop-up box again.  No matter what I do.  Although I'm obviously not doing the right thing.....  I'm sure I'm missing like one thing...

it's working now, I don't know why.  I had the user logon with her username and password, and it worked.  I'm an adminsitrator and it wouldn't let me log on.  Whatever, it works, thank you very much.  
Now, my next question..... share drives access!!

I know this is way old, but I just had the same error message when upgrading to Exchange 2010.  If I enable encryption at the client, it flies right through.  Tools, Email Accounts, View/Change, Change, More Settings, Security(Tab).  Click Encrypt data between Microsoft Office Outlook and Microsoft Exchange Server.  In the drop-down use Kerberos/NTLM Password Authentication.  

Just thought I'd add this here...
