Hi,

i know only one company that selling a feature that By one click the user can create a new default email account in Outlook Express and other email clients.
you may see friendly-tech.com

i also look for this kind of thing, but for a good price or for free..
any idea?

i see it in acion - it's nice.
user just accept the active x security and he may type username and password and his account is set up in his outlook.

it can save hours on phone support.


Any ideas?

Thanks,

Igalro

Doesn't CPanel still do this? If so then just take thier .reg file that they have and save it. Open it with notepad. See how they do it. Once you figure it out then make the file just like that appropriate to the correct email. If you need help let me know. I could probably help you with this.

thanks you all.
i'll built an ASP app that will take the settings and build the .reg file on the fly just like it shown on the cpanel file:

well,
it seem to be very simple.. :)

Yep, if ya need it built in php let me know!

any ideas how big the population of Outlook vs Outlook Express users is out there? also compared to # of users of hosted email services like Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL, etc.

trying to figure out relative size of each population for development purposes, prioritization.
