saving Accounts settings

J

Hi
Outlook 2002: I have many different email accounts, using several different
server settings, reply addresses etc etc, all set up just how I need them,
for a variety of different contexts. Now I need to reformat this drive and
reinstalll everything. I can obviously save all the Outlook data in a pst
backup, but is there any way to preserve all my Accounts settings so that
they can be quickly re-established? The thought of re-creating them all is
not a happy one....
Thanks

Try copy & paste into notepad & reverse when ready, or print them out. At
least you won't have to re-research them. There may be a more automated
solution; see if you can discover what file they are saved in.

One thing that may work is to export the registry key
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\yourprofilename and import it into the other
machine. Also, try using the Office Save My Settings Wizard.
