Print e-mail account list

[ed9213]

I have 17 POP3 mail accounts that I manage with Outlook 2002. I have to go
on the road and would like to either export all the e-mail account
information (names, servers, connection info, etc.) to an Excel or text file
to facilitate entering them into the laptop I will be using. It would also
serve as a backup of information for me should the server, port, etc.,
information ever have to be re-input. I am not sure I will have Outlook as
the laptop's e-mail application, so having the information in text will be a
safe choice.
I can't find a facility in Outlook 2002 to help me do this. Is there a file
on the computer that holds that information, or can the account information
be exported or printed?
Thanks.

I believe Office XP has the "Save My Settings" wizard. Account information
is saved in the Registry and I don't know of many good ways to extract that
information, other than the wizard I mentioned or exporting the appropriate
registry keys. Look under "Microsoft Office Tools" in your Start menu.

Brian,

Thanks. I created the "Save My Settings" Wizard output file, but couldn't
read it. I found an OPS Viewer in the Microsoft Office Resource Kit that
converted the OPS file to text, which, while a little too full of
information, did reveal the mailbox account information I was looking for.
I'll play with it a little more in Excel to make it more usable as a resource.

Thanks for your help.

Dear Ed,

I can't find a facility in Outlook 2002 to help me do this. Is there a
file
on the computer that holds that information, or can the account
information
be exported or printed?

This information is stored in the registry.
You can use tools like www.backupoutlook.com to save and restore your email
accounts.
