It is not necessary for you to connect Outlook application with Exchange server to access Outlook mail-objects, such as mails, contacts, attachments, appointments, tasks, journals, and scheduled meetings. Outlook mail objects can be accessed easily without Exchange server, but you cannot send mails using Outlook alone. This is because of OST (Offline Storage File). Outlook application stores a copy of the mailbox on client system when Exchange server is unavailable. Data of OST file automatically gets converted to PST file when you connect Outlook application with Exchange server. But at times, synchronization remains incomplete. In such situations, OST to PST converter tool is the last option. It can convert ost file into a PST file and make overall data of Outlook accessible.
Here some error messages are discussed which appears when you try to make connection between MS-Outlook and Exchange server:
When you try to configure MS-Outlook automatically, below mentioned error message is displayed on the screen:
“The action cannot be completed. The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. Your network adapter does not have a default gateway.”
When you try to configure MS-Outlook manually, an error message that seems exactly as given below appears:
“Your Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable”
Suppose, you have an existing profile that was previously connected to MS-Exchange server and you have lost the default gateway. If you select the Check Name option to check the settings in Email Accounts, below error message pops up.
“Outlook cannot log on. Verify that you are connected to the network and are using the proper server and mailbox name. The connection to the Microsoft Exchange Server is unavailable. Your network adapter does not have a default gateway.”
