Outlook 2003 Accounts File

[Morlince]

From what i have done before and just done, i was able to just copy the key in the profile that has multiple subkeys underneath it that equal the number of accounts i have, labled

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1644491937-790525478-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Doug 3/08\9375CFF0413111d3B88A00104B2A6676

It moved all my accounts and i didnt even have to input my passwords.

I tried to find a solution to this for ages and the I found the Microsoft, Save my settings wizard. This successfully exported all my outlook accounts details etc. It seems microsoft moved the account feature out of outlook itself but didnt really tell anybody. I had a Eureka moment when I found it.

PROGRAMS>MICROSOFT OFFICE TOOLS> SAVE MY SETTINGS WIZARD.

Cheers

I don't have this feature in office 2007!...I installed the hole office except groove, info path ...maybe microsoft had that feature in 2003 but now they want to make people very nervous! so for that reason I will use ABF

BTW, you can use
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook] to get the account settings as well. Much easier than trying to figure out your GUID.

It works!

Your method works perfectly.
Thanks a lot...

I've been looking everywhere for days to find out how to do exactly what you describe - move Outlook accounts from one computer to another, or to simply back up email accounts. Versions of Outlook preceding 2002 had a feature built in for this, but beginning with 2002 there is no feature. Plus it appears that Microsoft has mercilessly hidden its means of storing Outlook accounts from anyone who might be trying to find them.

During my search I found no "manual" solutions, but I did find several third-part programs to do the job, which leads me to believe that Microsoft made deals with third-party developers that led to the exclusion of the account export feature in newer versions of Outlook.

Nevertheless I was determined to find out how to do it, since there must be a way, and I did, and here it is. It's not pretty but it's also not too difficult.

Open your registry editor and navigate to the following key:

HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1343024091-507921405-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook

Export the entire Outlook key to a file. You've now backed up your email accounts. To restore the backup to another computer, simply import the backup into the new computer's registry. You may need to delete the Outlook key off the new computer first.

Hope you all find this useful
