I CANNOT believe I am the only one looking for this he Microsoft Office Save My Settings Wizard can save account information. You should have a Microsoft Office Tools item in your All Programs list (either on its own or underneath Microsoft Office).

How to backup E-Mail Accounts???? (in outlook 2003)
Hi Greg,
Could you be a little more specific? Are you talking about mailboxes, Personal Folders, or just the account info? If you're looking to backup the account INFO, there really isn't any tool for that. Just automating the creation of an Outlook profile is a bit of work - trust me, I know! You're best bet is to create a document where you store all the MAPI or POP3 acct info. You can paste screen-capture (grabs)'s of the "properties" into the doc which will save you keystrokes. ------------------------------ "Greg" wrote: Thank you for taking the time to reply but unfortunatelly there is nothing about email account there. the last article mentions that this information is stored in the registry, but I have search for all token i can think of and found nothing....

How to backup E-Mail Accounts???? (in outlook 2003)
I'm not so sure the "Save My Settings" wizard works on POP3 accounts though.
I use the .OPS file together with the PROFLWIZ.exe (orktools) to configure Exchange accts for my Terminal Server users. -That's only one piece though (since you can't edit an .ops file). I have to programmatically import a .PRF file (for first time user) to write the exchange acct info to the user profile in the registry. PROFLWIZ is run again with "save" switch to write it all back to the .OPS upon logout. I'll play with the "Save my Settings" wizard on my Office2k3 box - Too bad I still have a lot of Office2k users around...
