Upgrading from Outlook 2000 to Outlook XP (2002)

[Scott]

In OL 2000 you could create an iaf file with your mail
settings and then import the iaf file if you had to
reinstall OL. However that feature apparently doesn't
exist in OL XP (2002). Is there any way to export mail
settings in OL XP and import into OL XP on another
computer so I don't have to manually set up all of my
email accounts?

No, outlook doesn't support account exporting. You can try setting up the
accounts in oe (and safe the iaf), then OL will want to import them... look
for a 3rd party accounts backup tool, or create a prf to use.
