Hi!

I'm about to reinstall WinXP and therefore I need to save all my mail and contacts in Outlook 2003. It would also be nice if all the mailaccount settings were saved too.

I have only done this before with Outlook Express and I'm not really sure how to do this with Outlook. Do I export PST folders and can I import everuthing later?

Thanks for your help

You can save your pst file, but to get your email settings, you'll have to save the Registry Key that contains that information. Email account settings are not contained in the pst file in Outlook 2003.
