Outlook can't connect to Exchange 2003
I have a user who cannot connect to Exchange under there profile name locally. They can still reach OWA. It doesn't matter which machine they go to so I think it is an AD issue.
The error when connecting to Exchange in Outlook 2007 or 2010 is: The connection to Microsoft Exchange is unavailable. Outlook must be online or connected to complete this action.
This is a previously configured user and it is in GAL.
Suddenly stopped working what are your suggestions on fixing this

Have you tried configuring Outlook profile in Online mode already?
Also have you tried specifying complete email address when configuring profile?

it is only one user and you can create profile and it is all fine hoverer when opening outlook it wont connect to exchange
then when tried to repair account the it wont connect to outlook either
it is only affecting only one user newer seen error like this it look like the mailbox store is corrupt however it is working in OWA and only one user is affected

I have also seen that in my past experience that if the security permission inheritance is blocked on user account can also cause this issue, be sure that its allowed under (user account > properties > Security > Advanced > Allow Inheritance is checked)

Just curious,
If you give yourself permission to the exchange mailbox can you open it on your outlook?
If you log into your desktop as the user, can you then access the mail?
Curious if it is a profile issue on the desktop..
Also,
if you can access it from your account, with the permissions set.
i would just delete the account, remove all traces, and create a new user account for those two users, then re-associate the old email address to them.

Have you checked the mailbox account on the EMC to see if the 'Outlook Web App' is enabled under the 'Mailbox Features' tab? If not enable it and try again.

all working now the fix was to move the mailbox to server no 2 and that worked so i moved it back to server 1 that had a problem before and now is working fine on server 1

fast and good solution no email lost and working
Also check if the user has the option selected to hide from GAL, but since you mentioned already the user is in GAL this might not be relevant i would still double check.
