Question about Outlook Express

I just installed Office for Mac 2011 on a new MacBook Pro Retina (2.3GHz, version 10.7.4). When I go to Add an Account, I am unable to add a POP or IMAP email account. When I click on the icon next to the E-mail Account, nothing happens, and I have to force quit Outlook as the window as the Account window becomes stuck. The button for the Exchange Account works as does Directory Service. I've tried uninstalling Office for Mac and re-installing it from the original DVD (both with and without the updates) but I keep getting the same result.
