Problems with Outlook installation/registry
 

Hi

I am trying to read the registry values for an account set up with
Outlook 2002. This is so that I can back up these values, create a new
account directly in the registry as part of an installation and then on
un-installation restore the original settings. The installation is as
part of a spam filter where the user consents to having their mail
collected through the spam filter - hence the installation configures
their mail to collect from the spam filter server and said server then
talks to the user's ISP rather than the mail client talking to the ISP.
For sending email, the email client (Outlook 2002) sends authenticated
mail "use sicily=2" to the spam filter rather than the original ISP.

This works on a variety of settings but I'm having problems getting the
Use Sicily flag to install on Outlook 2002. Has anything changed with
the registry settings and authentication on this version which would
cause this to happen and does anyone have any reference code available
to do the email backup and restore using only registry values?

many thanks

Craig
