Hi there,

I'm looking for an example on how to use a .prf (or other
type) file to auto-configure Outlook clients. Here's what
I need as far as options:

IMAP
PST storage
Outlook Address Book

I do not have an Exchange server and we use IMAP in
conjunction with a remote (in AZ) web-based email server.
I would like to be able to execute this when a user logs
onto a workstation for the 1st time, or as an alternative,
from a shortcut or intranet web page. If possible, I'd
like the user's email account ([email protected])
to be part of the file so the user doesn't have to enter
this info.

Has anyone done this or have any insight on how to do
this - I see references to IMAP when reading about PRF
files, but can't find any syntax references for IMAP in a
PRF file.

Thanks as always :)
 
AFAIK, Outlook 2000 doesn't support configuring an IMAP profile, since IMAP is supported only in IMO mode, which doesn't have profiles.

Good point....ok, is there any other way to
programmatically configure acounts when using OL2000 in
IMO mode?

Other than hacking the registry entries, none that I know of.
