Automated Setup in Outlook Express

child of wonder · 05-19-2006, 01:04 PM

I've seen some companies use programs to automatically set up Outlook Express. Does anyone know of a program I could use to create my own automated set up program for Outlook Express?

Thanks

Hi...

Not 100% sure this is what you want but will Office Install Shrink help at all??

I work for an ISP and we're switching some customers from a company we recently purchased to email on our domain. The other company used IMAP and we need to switch those customers to POP3.

What we want is a program that the customer can run that will ask them for their username and password and the program will automatically configure POP, SMTP, etc. to make the transition as smooth as possible.

Ahhh I'm with you now, thought you meant a program to install Office.

Try ISP Wizard...does exactly what you want :-)

You can also try the attached VB script.

You will need to make changes to it before you send it out to your customers. Then email it to them all, advise them to double click it and they will need to add username/password...should be all that's needed if set up correctly :-)
