Sounds like a new profile is in order http://support.microsoft.com/kb/829918 If that doesnt work, I would ask this in the Outlook Forum http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/outlook/threads

Hi Teralyne, When you are rebuilding new profile, you can choose "Manually configure server settings or additional server types". Then make your configuration not using exchange server. Hope I don't misunderstand you. Thanks.Rowen TechNet Community Support

I have installed office 2010 on a windows 7 64 bit computer and outlook only wants to go online to exchange. I had even set the account up and ran the test which worked but now it will not work at all. How do I stop outlook 2010 from looking for exchange?
