Keep in mind, however, that if you upgrade to Office 2007, you'll lose that
tool.

Why would you want to backup the configuration? Configuring a mail account
in Outlook 2007 is a simple as putting in your email address and password.
In some cases you'll have to manually type in the server details but these
are easily obtained from your ISP.

Well I have multiple 9 pop accounts configured
I have numerours rules created
are just two reasons why I am looking for a tool instead of doing ti manualy
I did it before when using office 2003.
I upgraded to 2007 and I need to rebuild my laptop[which is my primary
computer] and there is a lot of info to reconfigure if i have to, plus more.

One of the reasons it was dropped was because it is unreliable; an Outlook
configuration is heavily tied to an installation. Transferring that to
another machine can cause many corruptions which result in the same thing;
reconfigure it manually. 3rd party tools are no better.

Rules cannot be transferred from one machine to the other either especially
when an upgrade is also being done. But of course it doesn't hurt to export
them and try to import then. You can do this by pressing the Options button
via Tools- Rules and Alerts

In most cases you are much faster by reconfiguring it.

Just curious; why do you need 9 POP3 accounts?
