Create your own .prf file

by Christoph Herold 31. Januar 2007 15:46

When working with several POP3 accounts, it can be a real pain to always have to enter every single account when you reinstall outlook or have to switch profiles or simply have multiple computers. Other mail clients have an option to export account settings, Outlook doesn't. Bummer...

I ran into the Office Resource Kit, which at least helped a bit by enabling me to create a custom .prf-file. The accounts specified in the file can be used to create a new Outlook profile. A set of instructions on how to do this can be found at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/308300. When you've created your .prf file, you can set up your accounts on any machine by simply starting it. Hurray for automation :-)
