Vista - Faxing from outlook 2007

I've just upgraded from Vista home to business edition hoping that my
software application will be able to send faxes via MAPI. It wasnt.
So I looked into the Outlook 2007 settings and it doesnt appear to
have any linkage with windows fax & scan at all anymore ?

Can anyone tell me how to activate OL so I can Fax from outlook using
the email to [FAX:0123123123] approach ?

Is there a Com add-in which first needs to be installed ?

Thanks,

Jimmy

All you need to do is add the Fax Mail Transport to your Outlook profile,
same as always.

Can you tell me where to look in outlook 2007 to find that ?

Thx.

Found it..

But get an odd problem, When I go to the Email accounts tab, click
Add New.. Select "Other" then choose Fax Mail Transport, and click
Next.. I get a popup msg : "The account you added is not fully
configured. it might not work properly until re-configured
correctly.".

Any ideas whats going on there ? It wont let me go any further than
that.

Have you configured a functional fax account in WFS?
