  • Backing up email accounts?

    Is there a way to back up email accounts (not PSTs or OSTs etc..) so I don't need to enter in the login / pw etc.. information when I reinstall Windows?

    Office 2007 - all internet mail (PO3 and SMTP, no enterprise)

    I believe if you've backed up the "My Documents" part of Outlook (may have to go to Folder Options in the control Panel and set View Hidden as on) you can tell it to grab the settings from there as part of the setup procedure.

    Alternatively, if it's just for E-Mail, grab Thunderbird and let it import the settings (and mail archive), then copy the My Documents > Application Data > Username > Thunderbird > Profile > Garbled file, into the new install and change Profiles.ini to reflect "Garbled file"
