The SBS 2003 default exchange account in Outlook is taking over when the clients reboot. I already found the Experts Exchange answer that to solve this the .prf file needs to be updated to add the POP3 account. &nbsp;Where I am stuck is figuring out how to add this account. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The clients are on Office 2007 and all of the tech support articles I can find say to use the Office Customization tool to update the PRF file. However, I can't find the Office Customization Tool anywhere. &nbsp;The client computers came with Office 2007 already installed, so there was no custom installation point from the server. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
The tech articles also mention--though don't recommend--manually editing the PRF file. &nbsp;I've located the PRF file and have opened it in Notepad, but I don't know what to edit to add the POP3 account. If anyone could post specifically what the code should look like and where it needs to be placed, it would be a huge help<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for any help

An email client, email reader or more formally mail user agent (MUA) is a computer program in the category of groupware environments used to access and manage a user's email. A web application that provides message management, composition, and reception functions may internally act as an email client; as a whole, it is commonly referred to as webmail. Likewise, email client may be referred to a piece of computer hardware or software whose primary or most visible role is to work as an email client. Email clients can also have other systems, like calendars, notes and contact managers.
