In which location does outlook store the email account settings?

I have a complete backup of my old machine and noe want to copy the email
settings. If I know the locations I assume I can just copy the details from
the backup to the correct location.

Thanks for yuor help
 
Email account settings are stored in the registry and can be moved with the
Office Save My Settings Wizard.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles is where mail profile data is stored. Other
settings locations can be found here:

You won't be able to get them from a backup of an old machine, only from a
working machine.
