How To Backup Outlook Email Account Settings?

[~*McoreD*~]

The question says it all.

I am having my Outlook PST file in My Documents and save my emails with no trouble. However, having to setup email accounts every time I format is a bit of annoyance. I just wished Microsoft saved this info in the PST file as well, but they haven't.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks,
McoreD

Or you can backup the registry settings


[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outloo k\OMI Account Manager]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook\

The only thing you have to do is remember your account passwords

Thanks greypigeon, registry key backup works perfectly.

One of my email account settings (betaone) was in OMI Account Manager and I suspect the other email account settings were in Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook.

Here is a simple .NET program to automate this process.
