Outlook 2003 PRF

[ABK]

Hello Everyone,

Hopefully this message will post.
I need help modifying existing Outlook 2003 profile with PRF file. I'd like
to change SMTP port from 25 to 465 and enable SSL. Currently, when clicked,
it asks if it is OK to import settigns, I say OK, but changes are not there.
Here is the sample, please modify this or post a new one with profile name
called MyPOP3Account. Outlook and GPO have been around for years, and I don't
understand why we can't use GPO to make changes to Outlook, but this is off
topic. Your help will be greatly appreciated.

Dear Brian,

Thank you for your helpful reply; however, I did not say "Hopefully this
message will post" just for fun - I could not find my previous post
anywhere. I still can't. Would you care posting a link to it here?
Back to the topic, do you know the answer to the original question?

Thank you,
ABK

I don't use a web browser to read the newsgroups for exactly this reason.
Messages never get lost and one never gets an error that something went wrong
when using a real newsreader.

Ah, buggy MS front end. All I care at the moment is a PRF file. Look forward
to seeing an answer to my original question.
