Well... Depends on the software. Some MUAs may store their settings to the registry, others to files. You'll have to figure out - it should work. Microsoft uses something like that to auto-deploy Outlook profiles to Windows domain users if an Exchange server is installed. Thunderbird uses a combination of registry and files. You could deploy a preconfigured Thunderbird profile to the users profile dir, then configure the proper profile path in the registry. Firefox works the same: Profile directory, reference to it in the registry. I think LibreOffice would work similar to MS Office: Just deploy proper files after figuring out its path. I once deployed OpenOffice macros that way to Linux X11 terminal users. -- Regards, Kai Replies to list-only preferred.
