My company has shifted from a POP to an exchange account. I telecommute, working out of my home studio. When I attempted to set up the exchange account on my Mac (OSX 10.8.5) I repeatedly got "account can't be added. Outlook 2011 requires exchange server 2007 spi update rollup 4 or later." I am running the 14.3.8 version of Outlook for Mac 2011.

None of my colleagues have experienced this issue in the workplace. I have tried setting it up with VPN open and with it closed. I am considering waving a chicken over my head or howling at the moon if that would help. I am entering all of the information correctly as evidenced by my success with setting up the account on my i-phone and webmail.

Any ideas would be welcome.

Thanks,

David
