SYMPTOMS

To work around this behavior, use the following steps to import Internet Mail Accounts settings from the e-mail programs that are on your computer:
 * 1) Start Outlook.
 * 2) On the File menu, click Import and Export.
 * 3) Click Import Internet Mail Account Settings, and then click Next.
