Hi All...

I am loading my old .pst onto a new laptop and could have sworn that
the e-mail acocunt information was stored in the .pst. After loading
it and making it default, it appears that isn't so. Is there a file
that contains this information? There are 14 email accounts that I
monitor and would rather not recreate them if at all possible.

Thanks in advance.

On the old machine do Start-All Programs-Microsoft Office-Microsoft Office
Tools-Save my settings wizard and save your settings. Copy the resultant
file to the new machine and do the reverse, i.e. import the settings file.
HTH
 
So it's not stored in a file on the old machine? Time to start typing
I suppose. Thanks!

You could import them into Outlook Express. Then in OE, go to the
accounts and export each one to an .iaf file. Reverse the process to
import back into a new instance of Outlook.

Gordon already mentioned the wizard for saving Office settings. You can
also use the Start -> Programs -> Accessories -> System -> File and
Settings Transfer wizard. Check the box "Let me select ..." if you just
want to save Outlook settings and/or files to then use later to import.
 
Hi All,
The email account setting is stored in this registry key.
"HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Windows Messaging

Subsystem\Profiles\<profile name>"
