Outlook 2002 and e-mail accounts.

Due to a machine failure and subsequent rebuild, I have had to re-enter all
e-mail accounts for me and my family. Under older versions of Outlook I was
always able to export these settings as a backup then import them into a
fresh install of OL.

Under OL2002 this feature no longer exists and I am certain the account
details now reside in the Windows XP user profile somewhere.

Does anyone know what registry keys in HKEY/CURRENT_USER/ I need to backup
so that I can easily restore the e-mail accounts if ever this problem
happens again?

Regards
Darren

If you had read my posting properly you would see that i know that already!!
I ask about registry keys as this is clearly where details of mail accounts
are now held.
