Outlook PRF for 2003

A

ABK

Hello Everyone,

Very simple question. I need to modify profile (configured to use POP3/SMTP)
to change SMTP port from 25 to 465 in Outlook 2003.
I've tried downloading Outlook.PRF sample file and modifying it, then tried
generating one using OCT - no go. It runs, pops up message asking if I want
to import information into my E-mail accounts, I say "yes", but then changes
don't get applied, SMTP is still set to 25.
Can anyone post a sample file (or modify the one pasted below. It has
additional SMTP options) that would modify SMTP port successfully? Just use
MyPOP3Account (if I understand correctly, POP3 and SMTP server names can be
omitted with "OverwriteProfile=APPEND" option, since I'm not modifying them).
This thing is just killing me. Why can't MS implement GPO-based modification
for Outlook?
Your help will be greately appreciated.
