exporting email account settings in Outlook 2002

Hello all,

I'm using Outlook 2002 (OfficeXP SBE) and I got a little puzzle - no matter
how I search in help, I can't find the way to export mail server(s)
settings, so I could import them later - I need to reinstall the PC, and
don't want to enter all the info again. I know that Outlook Express allows
export of account setting, but how about Outlook2002? I see that I can
import server settings through Import/Export, but don't see any obvious way
to export them. Or it can be done through .pst file maybe? Could anyone
advice please?

Thx
Dave

Outlook does not support exporting account information except in Outlook
98/2000 Internet Mail Only mode.

Thank you for quick reply.

So there is no export for account info? ... well, I admit that is
disappointing, but at least I won't keep looking for something what is not
there. I wonder why this feature is left out from otherwise sophisticated
piece of software; maybe for security reasons...
Thx anyway!

Hello Dave,

Thanks for your posting here.

Unfortunately, the export/import feature doesn't support in Outlook
2002/2003. Outlook 2002 ends the distinction between Corporate/Workgroup
mode and Internet Mail Only mode that was present in Outlook 98 and Outlook
2000. The ability to export Internet mail account settings to an .iaf file
as you can in IMO mode and Outlook Express disappears, as it is an IMO-only
feature. This behavior is by design. Your understanding is appreciatd. I
have performed research, and unable to find any workaroud or tools to
export account settings.

Have a nice day!

Thanks & Regards
