SWITCH EMAIL ACCOUNT-(see question)

[Jay]

I have Windows XP home edition. I use Outlook Express for
my email. If I want to make a new user account, can I
copy my email account in Outlook Express to the New
User's log-on name instead of setting up an email account
from scratch on the new user's name?

Thanks for your help and assistance..

The setup information for each of your email and news accounts can be
exported.

You do this through the Tools, Accounts dialog - select the account and
click Export to save the data in an .iaf file format.

Then you can use import to put it back.

Hi Jay,

Export these four keys and then import them with OE closed.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name

This will include your mail/news/address book and block senders.
