Need to reinstall and want to make things as EASY as possible with OL2002

[Bruccce]

Sorry for the cross post, I just need an answer FAST as my system is dying!

I have a system I need to reinstall the OS on (Win XP prof) and I have OL
2002.
I have many email accounts, several PSTs and a bunch of rules.

How can I "back up" export etc the data for the accounts?
If OL won't let me do this, can I export the reg keys and then reimport them
in the new install? What are the reg keys?

Thanks
Bruce

Ever looked in OL File->Import&Export ... ?

Use the "Save my settings wizard" which is located under the Microsoft
Office Tools folder in your Startmenu.

This wizard doesn't backup your pst-files!!! You need to do this manually!!!

Hope this helps!

Willy,

This won't save all his profile settings. Also importing/exporting a
pst-file will clear all custom views and forms from the folders.
