for accounts you can save your address book by clicking at the top of the file, then click export and save to your desktop, then you put it where you want. To do it again the same thing, open the file from the phone book and go by reintroducing the directory where you saved them and restores them, do everything automatically outlook.

The settings and accounts of the parameters of the post you must restore them manually.
