VBA - Create Outlook Profiles - Can it be done!
You can manipulate profiles in VB or VBA using ProfMan library which comes with
a distributable version of Redemption (http://www.dimastr.com/redemption/ ,
click "Profiles"). However in your case it does not look like even Extended MAPI
will help - POP3/SMTP provider in Outlook is not strictly MAPI compliant, a lot
of information is shared between Outlook and OE. In Outlook 2002 POP3/SMTP
provider is not exposed to Extended MAPI at all and there is no API to
manipulate it (one of quite a few things Outlook 2002 broke).
You could directly change the registry bits, but in this case for the changes to
take effect, you'd need to restart Outlook.
