You keep referring to "Outlook" but you evidently mean "Outlook Express",
yes? Check the Outlook Express dictionary for 'POP account' and 'IMAP
account', and you'll see that you can set some of what you need except ' Set
SMTP server requires authentication to TRUE' without concerning yourself
with clicks and clacks. (Passwords are always saved automatically, and you
don't have to click 'log on using'.) OE's account scripting is not complete.
There are settable properties for
SMTP service requires SSL
POP ID -- or IMAP ID
password
and that's it from what you want - probably not good enough. If you ever get
MS Office 2001 or X with Entourage, the superset app of OE, you will also
find
SMTP requires authentication boolean -- true if authentication is
required for the SMTP server
SMTP uses account settings boolean -- true if the SMTP server uses the
same account ID and password as the incoming server
SMTP account ID string -- the account ID for SMTP server, if SMTP
requires authentication is true, and SMTP uses account settings is false
SMTP password string -- the password used to access the SMTP server, if
SMTP requires authentication is true, and SMTP uses account settings is
false
and a lot more settings (even more IMAP settings in Entourage X).
OE has finished development, forever. These settings will never be added in
AppleScript. They're all in Entourage, however.
