Choose the Export Profile Settings button to save the Outlook profile settings that you have defined in a .prf file.
Tip:
An efficient way to create an Outlook .prf file is to use the OCT to make selections and then export them to a .prf file, even if you are not using a Setup customization file when you deploy Office. You can edit the .prf file to make additional customizations that are not exposed in the OCT. For example, you can add an email provider that is not listed in the OCT.
Specify Send/Receive Groups
Define Send/Receive groups for Exchange accounts and folders, and specify the tasks that are performed on each group during a Send/Receive in Outlook. A Send/Receive group contains a collection of Outlook accounts and folders. You can specify different options for Send/Receive groups when Outlook is online and offline, as shown in the following table.
