Warning; Buying Office 2013
So you may have upgraded to Microsoft office 2013 and gone to connect your email to an exchange account and then you will see two error boxes come up, the first one says:
The resource that you are trying to use is located on an unsupported version of Microsoft Exchange. Contact your e-mail administrator for assistance.
The second window says:
Cannot start Microsoft Outlook. Cannot open the Outlook window. The set of folders cannot be opened. The file (then the file path) is not an Outlook data file (.ost).
It seems that Microsoft Exchange 2003 is not supported by Outlook 2013. At the moment I do not know of any work around, if you do please leave a comment in the section below.
Snippet from the Office 2013 known issues page:
Error when connecting to Exchange 2003
When you configure Outlook 2013 for an Exchange 2003 account, you can get the following error message:
The resource that you are trying to use is located on an unsupported version of Microsoft Exchange. Contact your e-mail administrator for assistance.
Workaround Outlook 2013 isn’t supported on Exchange 2003 and connectivity is blocked. Please connect Outlook 2013 to Exchange 2007, 2010, or 2013.
This is one of the things you need to be aware of if you are still running exchange 2003.
