Typically, in a corporate environment you'd use roaming profiles (windows)
and the account would be there when the user logged on the machine. Or you'd
use prf files-either in a logon script or in the workstation image.

The PST file (personal file folder), where Outlook stores email, contact,
calendar, etc information is currently not setup to include account
information. Things like email account setup, or whatever you'd find in
the
Accounts window. It's not a big problem when initially setting up your
accounts. When you work in IT like I do, I'm responsible for saving the
PST
of a given computer and formatting the hard drive and reinstalling
everything, then replacing the PST. The can happen several times in a year
for any one person's computer. When specifying under Data File Management
(Outlook 2007), I can just add the new PST file and remove the generic
one.
But I ALWAYS have to go back in and add the email account information
(like
pop3, smtp addresses, usernames, passwords, ports, etc).

Since that naturally relates to the very emails I see in the PST files,
can
we include the account info in those files too? If there's a concern about
security, maybe there can be an option in the export settings for PST to
not
include account info when exporting (but the info would still reside on
the
original PST file under Local Settings/Application Data/...../Outlook/).
