    This might be of some assistance:

    Tip: If during the following procedures you encounter a popup window that asks you to login, simply press cancel. You may get an error message or additional login request, press cancel again.

    - For existing Outlook 2003 profile:

    In Outlook navigate to Tools > Email Accounts > View or Change Existing Accounts and click Next button.
    Click Change button.
    Click ‘More Settings’ button. If prompted for a password, click Cancel.
    Navigate to Connection tab.
    Check ‘Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP’ option and click ‘Exchange Proxy Settings’ button
    Specify Exchange Proxy Settings:
    Type the URL for your Proxy Server in the 'Use this URL to connect to my proxy server for Exchange' field.
    You can find the correct URL for this setting in HostPilot > MS Exchange Server 2003 > Setup or MyMailboxManage r > Setup page - Click on the link in the text that says"For Advanced users: You can click here for the information on how to configure Outlook manually".
    Make sure that both ‘On fast networks...’ and ‘On slow networks...’ options are checked
    Choose ‘Basic Authentication’ as ‘Proxy Authentication settings’
    Press OK, Apply, Next and Finish to save changes.
    Restart Outlook for changes to take effect.
    - For new Outlook 2003 profile:

    Go to your Outlook mail settings from Start > Control Panel > Mail.
    Click the ‘Show Profiles’ button and press ‘Add’ for a new profile.
    Specify your Profile Name and click Next to Add a new e-mail account.
    Choose ‘Microsoft Exchange Server’ and go Next.
    Specify your Exchange Server Name on the Next page (you can find it from HostPilot® or MyMailboxManage r at Setup page) and type your Exchange Mailbox Username.
    Click ‘More Settings’ button. If prompted for a password, click Cancel.
    Navigate to Connection tab.
    Check ‘Connect to my Exchange mailbox using HTTP’ option and click ‘Exchange Proxy Settings’ button
    Specify Exchange Proxy Settings:
    Type the URL for your Proxy Server in the 'Use this URL to connect to my proxy server for Exchange' field.
    You can find the correct URL for this setting in HostPilot > MS Exchange Server 2003 > Setup or MyMailboxManage r > Setup page - Click on the link in the text that says "For Advanced users: You can click here for the information on how to configure Outlook manually".
    Make sure that both ‘On fast networks...’ and ‘On slow networks...’ options are checked
    Choose ‘Basic Authentication’ as ‘Proxy Authentication settings’
    Press OK, Apply, Next and Finish and OK to save changes.
    Start Outlook.
    tell us how it goes,

    good luck

        I would ask your network admin to help you out, there is probably a policy in place that is prohibiting you from adding extra ids and the port numbers might be blocked. Plus they are using a proxy, you need to configure the proxy in order to get access to the external info on the internet.

        Good Luck,
