Customize Outlook Email Options?
I wonder if there was an easy way to add and configure POP3 server to Outlook mail server settings programmatically?
A google search seems to give results that tell me that I should reverse engineer gobbledygook stored in HKCU \ Software \ Microsoft \ Windows NT \ Windows Messaging Subsystem \ Profiles. My employer wanted to know if it would be possible to quickly release a program to tweak the POP3 settings of our users (we are scattered all over the country), and so far it doesn't look like that at all.
I have VS2008 and all the built-in Windows / Office tools, but I don't know how to lick C ++ (only C, C # and some stuff from internet / linux, I'm self taught).
Does anyone know of an easier way to access Outlook mail profiles to add or customize them?
Thank!
Tom

Outlook supports the PRF file as a means of adding / configuring mail accounts: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc179062(office.12).aspx
You can distribute the file itself to your users, or write a utility to create it and open it with Outlook.

The easiest way is to create an AutoIt script to make the changes through the interface. This way you don't need to redesign anything. This is usually the quickest and easiest way to make changes. After the script is good to go, compile and distribute. Ask end users to run the app and they are done.
