When setting up a New PC I want to migrate all the Outlook settings (Not Outlook Express) from the old PC. I have no problem with *.pst folders both exporting and importing. Problem is how to export/import Internet Mail accounts settings to new machine. There must be a way but I can't find it
Please advise - Thanks

There are a couple of options:
1-In Outlook you can go to Tools->Accounts and on the Accounts tab you can export the account settings to iaf files and then import them to the new Outlook. Unfortunately you must export each account separately.
2-You can purchase a commercial app like ABF Oulook Backup to backup everything, accounts included. Here's a link: http://www.abf-soft.com/outlook-backup.shtml
3-Do a registry search for one of your email accounts. It should be located in
HKEY_USERS\ \Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\OMI Account Manager\Accounts
Your will be a long number begining with "S". Export this key (starting at the "Accounts" level and then import it into your new pc registry.
Cheers.

I am using Outlook 2003. On the Tool tab the only account option is Email Accounts. In this selection there is no option to export. Maybe I am missing something.
Please advise
PS I sent for the Backup Utit.
Thanks for your help.
