Backing Up OE Account Setting And Message Rules

Today we will talk about saving OE account settings together with message rules. See below:

Account settings
Details about your mail and news accounts are stored in the registry. To find them, start RegEdit and select the “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager” key from the left panel. To save this data, from menu select: Registry Export Registry File. Save the file to a name like "accounts.reg".

Mail Rules
The Outlook Express mail rules are stored in the registry, in the “HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities” key. To save this data, from menu select: Registry Export Registry File. Save the file to a name like "rules.reg".

Also, I've started a new Outlook backup blog, related to MS Outlook mail client and data saving.

Backup Email Messages

In Outlook Express emails are stored in files with DBX extension. The easiest way to find these files is to open Outlook Express and from menu select Tools Options Maintenance and click the Store Folder button. Here you can find the path to the folder containing your emails.

This procedure works for all kind of email: SMTP / POP3, IMAP, MAPI, or even the Hotmail Account (some messages might be stored only at the Hotmail server).

To save all your emails and attachments you should copy all the DBX files from the folder.
