Create a MAPI Profile

The connector uses a MAPI profile to extract data from the Exchange repository. This section describes how to configure a profile for the connector to use.

To configure a profile for the Exchange Connector

  1. Open the Windows Control panel (in large icons view).
  2. Double-click Mail.

    The Mail Setup dialog box opens.

  3. Click Show Profiles.

    The Mail dialog box opens.

  4. Click Prompt for a profile to be used. This ensures that when you open Microsoft Outlook, you can choose the profile you want to use (you can use Outlook to view the content in the repository).

  5. Click Add.

    The New Profile dialog box opens.

  6. In the Profile Name box, type a name for the new profile and click OK.

  7. Follow the on-screen instructions to configure the profile. You must specify the address of your Exchange Server, and a user name to access the repository.

    NOTE:

    The user name that you use for the profile must allow the connector to read all of the messages that you want to retrieve. Autonomy recommends that you run the connector as a view-only administrator.

    NOTE:

    When you configure the connection to Exchange, do not use Cached Exchange Mode.

  8. (Optional) The easiest way to check the configuration is to open Microsoft Outlook. If you can access the Public Folders, you can access Exchange. For more information about navigating folders, refer to the Microsoft Outlook documentation.
