MS exchange server email account and VISTA Home premium

I'm running OUTLOOK 2003 and can't for the life of me can't figure out how to
set up a MS Exchange email account.

Do I have to upgrade to VISTA ULTIMATE?

No, Vista Ultimate is NOT required, Outlook 2003 works just fine on all
versions of Vista. Where in the Exchange Server setup are you running into
trouble (the more detail you can provide, the better)?

when I click on "setup exchange account" I get a message that says that I
have to exit OUTLOOK and click on the mail icon in VISTA

BUT

I can't find any mail icon

Is this a 64-bit Vista system? If so, you'll need to look in the 32-bit
applet section of Control Panel as Outlook 2003 is a 32-bit application.

Yes, and your instructions were PERFECT

thank you very much.

Could I have just copied a settings file from OUTLOOK in my old XP machine
over to OUTLOOK in my new VISTA machine?
