outlook mail settings location for Accounts File

[Richard B Rufus]

Hello, Can anyone tell me What are the procedures for backup Account settings of MS Outlook 2003 so at the time of windows reinstallation I will not have to recreate all of them. I am not able to figure out where they are kept because they are different from the pst file or the rules backup file. Thank you for any help.

It is very easy to backup Account settings of Outlook 2003. Just follow some suggestions given in similar type of topics: Export Outlook Express Account Settings on Windows mail

How - copy Outlook 2007 account settings from Vista to XP machine?

The Outlook Express files are located at: ~user Profile\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities\...\Microsoft\Outlook Express\*

I also think that the settings would be within Pop3uidl.dbx as I updated an email address and then used the Date Modified to see what changed.

file ==> Import and Export
Follow the wizzard. You can then create a PST of you set up and mail. Then do the reverse on your new computer. Also check the file and settings Transfer Wizard in Windows XP.
Start > All programs > Accessories > System Tools > F and S T W
This will also take care of the other personalised stuff you have on the old computer.
