I've been looking everywhere for days to find out how to do exactly what
you describe - move Outlook accounts from one computer to another, or
to simply back up email accounts. Versions of Outlook preceding 2002 had
a feature built in for this, but beginning with 2002 there is no
feature. Plus it appears that Microsoft has mercilessly hidden its means
of storing Outlook accounts from anyone who might be trying to find
them.
During my search I found no "manual" solutions, but I did find several
third-part programs to do the job, which leads me to believe that
Microsoft made deals with third-party developers that led to the
exclusion of the account export feature in newer versions of Outlook.
Nevertheless I was determined to find out how to do it, since there must
be a way, and I did, and here it is. It's not pretty but it's also not
too difficult.
Open your registry editor and navigate to the following key:
HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-1343024091-507921405-725345543-1003\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook
Export the entire Outlook key to a file. You've now backed up your email
accounts. To restore the backup to another computer, simply import the
backup into the new computer's registry. You may need to delete the
Outlook key off the new computer first.
