Location of email account information

[Al]

I'm upgrading my system from Win98 to WinXP and will be
converting Outlook 2K to Outlook XP. Besides general
tips, can I assume that the email account information is
stored in the *.pst file? The reason I'm asking that is
because I want to backup the appropriate files in case the
Win98-XP upgrade fails and I have to reinstall 98 I'll
want the original email account information. Obviously
I'm backing up the outlook.pst file.

Thanks,

Al

No, email account information is stored in the Windows registry.
