creating some outlook email accounts using Win32::OLE API

yaronba has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hello,

Does any one knows how to create an email account using the outlook API ?

I know how to send mail using the API but can't find the way to create (and even change) email accounts.....

I can't even find it on the MSDN (with VB)...

Thanks...

yaronba, Outlook is an email client, I do not think you will be able to create an exchange account using this. Have you looked at any of the Exchange modules on Cpan? Perhaps the Win32::Exchange module is what your looking for? Martin	[reply]

Excerpt from this MS KB 306962 article (Untested): Use the MAPI IProfAdmin interface This MAPI interface lets you programmatically create a profile without user interaction. "For every complex problem, there is a simple answer ... and it is wrong." --H.L. Mencken	[reply]
