I couldn't use the Outlook Connector add-on because I still am using
Outlook 2002. The add-on won't work properly with that version. So I
only saw its behavior for a short time. When you create a new e-mail
account, and according to Diane Poremsky (an MVP) at

Accounts -> Add new account -> (other account types). In OL2002, that
last navigation says "Additional Server Types" (the "HTTP" account type

OL2007, the option titles might've changed. My recollection was that
the add-on added a menu item, probably under Tools, and you used it to
manage your accounts under that add-on's control.
