Note: These procedures only apply if you have installed Outlook with the Corporate or Workgroup(CW) option. This option allows you to use Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) services.
To determine your installation type, on the Help Menu click About Microsoft Outlook. In About Microsoft Outlook you should see "Corporate or Workgroup" if you have the Corporate or Workgroup installation.

In Outlook 2000, information services enable you to control how e-mail systems address and deliver your messages, as well as how your messages and folders are stored. This following describes the information services that are available with Outlook, and how to add them to your user profile.

Generally, you only need one user profile. If you sometimes need to work with a different set of information services, it may be helpful to create an additional profile to use those services. If more than one person uses the same computer, each person should have a separate profile to keep personal items secure.

You can copy an existing user profile, rename it, and then modify it as needed to create your profile. You can have Outlook start with the same profile every time, or you can select a profile to use each time you start Outlook.

Use the following steps to add a user profile to your computer:

1. Click Start,
2. Ppoint to Settings,
3. Click Control Panel.
4. Double-click either the Mail or the Mail and Fax icon.
5. Click Show Profiles.
6. In the Mail and Fax dialog box, click Add.
7. Follow the prompts of the Inbox Setup Wizard.

If you have set up more than one profile on your computer, you can have Outlook prompt you for the profile that you want to use when it starts. To do this:

1. Start Outlook.
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.
3. On the Mail Services tab, click Prompt for a profile to be used,
4. Click OK.
5. On the File menu, click Exit and Log Off.
