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.

For working out problems connected with problem dbx files you may use repair outlook express. It doesn't modify source data during restoration, use modern ways of repairing dbx files, work under all available Windows OS.
