Hi everybody,

I've got a problem: I'd like to manage remote computer's microsoft outlook
email accounts (changing pop, smtp, ...). I've been searching for this but I
have found nothing...

Can anybody help me?

Thanks in advance!
 
Outlook version? What kind of management tasks do you have in mind?
 
Hello! Before reading your email I've just registered in your web
www.outlookcode.com ! What a casuality!
Well, I'm a System Administrator, we have Ms Exchange 2003 installed on a
Win Server 2003. Clients are Ms Outlook 2003.
What I'm trying to do is to get access to remote Outlook clients and have
the possibility of changing smtp&pop server settings, adding new accounts,
etc
I've seen the IolkAccountManager API but I don't know how to start !!

Can u help me?

Thanks Sue

Maybe a dumb question, but if you have Exchange, why do you want to manage SMTP and POP settings?

Well, the reason is we have portable computers that need to send/receive
mails when they are not in the office...

And the reason they're not connecting to Exchange to do that is?

Back to your original question, if all you need to do is add POP/SMTP accounts, you can use the Custom Maintenance Wizard from the Office Resource Kit to create and deploy a .prf file. Otherwise, the accounts API is for C++/Delphi application developers. For VB/VBScript, you can use the ProfMan library that comes with Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/)

Sue, excuse me if I have disturbed you... no intention at all...
Do you know any solution to my question? It's not a very urgent problem,
only that I'm interested in resolving it: I've spent all the morning
searching information about it...

Thanks in advance
