How do I change the Microsoft Exchange Server that my outlook profile
to connecting to? This is under Tools > Options > mail setup > email
accounts > view or change existing email accounts. When I select
Microsoft Exchange Server and click Change, the server field is not
editable.

The only way I can connect to the new exchange server is to create a
new profile, but I don't want to do that because I have tons of
customizations. Is there someway to change the server through .ini
configuration files or registry?

I am using Outlook 2003.

Close outlook. go to control panel, mail and remove the exchange account
then add the new one. If you have rules you want to use on the new account,
export them from outlook before closing it.

BTW, if you need to save anything in the old account, more or export to a
pst before deleting the account.
