I've used 3rd party programs and the one I paid for is not working for some
reason. I've got 800 GIGS on a RAID 0+1 and it says I don't have any free
space. Lame! Their support doesn't know either...

So anyway. I need to know if it's possible to manually backup:

* Email accounts and passwords.
* Add-Ins
* Rules
* Spam Rules*
* Etc...


And to do all the above manually. The only parts I don't actually know how
to do manually are the Email Accounts and their passwords. If I migrate the
..PST over the POP email accounts are never included and it drives me nuts.

I searched on this but my news reader only goes 300 conversations deep
or I bet I would have found an answer already as I'm sure this one is asked
quite a lot.

Thanks in Advance!

You forgot to mention your version of OL, which could be important

No on accounts and passwords. Accounts are in the registry and while you
could export the key, its prone to corruption. Passwords are in the
protected storage key in the registry.

You could try importing the accounts into OE and saving the iaf then
reversing the procedure when you need to recover.
