Removal of POP3 account via PRF

S

scorch968

Is there any way to delete a POP3 I_Mail account via PRF file import. I
have tried using the Custom Maintenence Wizard and saw an option to
remove Microsoft Mail and Lotus Notes services near the last few steps.
We are currently migrating from POP3 to Exchange 2003 and I am trying to
remove the POP3 account from Outlook and add the Exchange configuration
via .prf . The exchange configuration works great but so far have been
unsuccessful at removing the pop3 account. I've tried the [Service
Removal] option and have tried specifying on the line below the option
"POP3=" "I_MAIL=" and "MSFM=" I've also tried [Account Removal] and
moved the option to section 5. Still no go. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hi Scorch,

Have you had any luck with this? We currently use Outlook XP wit
POP3, LDAP and PST files. We're migrating to Exchange 2003. I coul
create a brand new profile for all users (works fine), but this mean
all Archive Folders, etc are lost.

I've looked at how MS remove MS Mail and CC Mail accounts and trie
same theory for LDAP and PST files. Outlook hangs on launching whe
using the PRF to remove these services which is somewhat annoying. If
can resolve this, the next step will be to remove the POP3 account, bu
I haven't seen any way to do this
