Hi,
I'm launching a new email service soon and would like to be able to create a program that automatically creates accounts in outlook without the user having to enter pop and smtp server information etc.
How could I do this?
Is it possible?
---If it is too much trouble I won't bother but it would be nice--------
Many thanks,
Jord
Are you running Exchange Server then? Which version if so?
I double checked and the Outlook Object Model does not support the creation of user accounts.
It does support using .prf files. It processes them to create a profile under Outlook 2002 and 2003.

However, I already have written a PHP script that automatically creates a user email account on the mail server.
I just need a vb program that the user can download which automatically configures Outlook to get their email.
I personally use Outlook 2000, but i'd like it to be cross-compatible.

Google have an application for Gmail that automatically configures Outlook so it must be possible within the OOM.
I realise that .prf files can be used, but these then need to be imported by the user at Oulook runtime.
Do you have any other suggestions?

A guilty bump :(
GMail probably uses the prf files too to configure the Outlook profiles. Thats about the only option so they must be using it.
