add an email account to outlook2007 programmatically

I have a few users in the field ( ever increasing) that need to setup outlook 2007 with the correct settings to access there company email


I would like to send them an executable and have it install the correct account information for them (I was thinking of keeping the user name and password hash in the app.config file)

does anyone have good examples of how to start this?

Thanks

I think the only way to do this is to use MAPI. Microsoft has a lot of C/C++ examples, but if you read through those it might give you the functions you need to call to update the profile info:

what about an add-in

I don't know about an addin, but the searching I did stated that the only way to do it was via MAPI, so I am guessing the Addin API doesn't expose that functionality either.
