Outlook 2003 Configuration with C# ?

[jmd]

Hello.
I want to write a little .NET application, coded in C# or C++, that would be
able to configure Outlook 2000/2003.
This program is intended to automate Outlook setup for multiple new users by
doing what I must do manually with Outlook menus :
. Going to menu -> Tools|Services
. Add and configure an Internet Pop3 mail service
. Add and configure an Exchange service
. Add and configure Personal folders
and other options...

Question : is this possible ONLY by program ?

Thank you.
Jean-Marie

Wrong tool. Instead, you should use the CIW or CMW in the Office Resource
Kit to create a .prf file with the settings you want. In Outlook 2003, you
use the .prf directly. In Outlook 2000, you run it with Newprof.exe. The ORK
explains in detail.
