help :( MAC 9.2.2, OUTLOOK 2001 - No exchange server ?!?!?

Hi,

I just downloaded the Outlook 2001 and it's all ready to go on my son's
iMac. We have OS 9.2.2 fully updated on it. plus I found the updates for
all software running on this machine including office 2001 products.

Now, I have a PC so I know this animal called Outlook in a different light.

I am a home user with a PC and an imac plugged into the same router. period.
no home server or network.

when outlook starts up to be set up for the first time it asks for the
Microsoft Exchange Server and name and a personal folder. I spent 5 hours
trying to do this. I must be a moron, but I can't get outlook to start...
when I try to test whatever I plug in, it inevitably Errors out and never
starts.

Please PLEASE tell me what to do- I am totally stumped... and not very
familiar at all with a MAC system in general.


*PS. if you do have the answer or a suggestion - please try to explain in
laymen's terms since I really am a beginner in the MAC world.

THANKS!

Hi, I sent this early this AM and noticed that no one replied tonight.

Isn't there even one person out there who can take pity on me and help me
out?

please?




thanks in advance,
