Example
This example will create a mail profile named LIQUIDWARELABS only if no profiles currently exist. This example leverages the macro @USERID. When ProfileUnity executes, the @USERID macro is expanded into the username. Therefore, the above example will create a mail profile that connects to each user’s mailbox on the exchange server named ATLEX01. The mail profile will be configured to use H:\mail.pab as a personal address book and will be set as the default profile.
