How to create an Email Account Profile

[Bill Mullen]

I would like to progmatically create an email account profile for
Outlook 2007 from another application I am writing. I have reviewed
the registry keys

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messageing
Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook2007

and see that I will need to do something vastly different than pre OL
2002 versions.

Thanks

Create a prf-file with the Office Resource Kit (ORK) or Office Customization
Tool (OCT) and then launch Outlook with that prf-file in order to configure
it automatically.

Your script would be then calling a command similar to this;
<installation path>\outlook.exe /importprf <storage
location>\yourprofile.prf

Office 2007 no longer has a Resource Kit and the OCT is only volume
licensed versions and I have a retail verison. Any other thoughts? Or
do you know the structure of the prf file?
