   4. Now, click the Add button and give your profile a name and click OK. The default name is Outlook.
   5. When you get a popup asking about using the profile for Email or as a Directory, click Close.
   6. Confirm the profile creation by clicking OK on the dialog box.
   7. You can now click OK on the Mail Control Panel window, then re-open Outlook to continue with the guide.
2. When asked if you want to configure an E-mail account, pick Yes, then click Next.
