Hello Dave,
Thanks for your posting here.
Unfortunately, the export/import feature doesn't support in Outlook
2002/2003. Outlook 2002 ends the distinction between Corporate/Workgroup
mode and Internet Mail Only mode that was present in Outlook 98 and Outlook
2000. The ability to export Internet mail account settings to an .iaf file
as you can in IMO mode and Outlook Express disappears, as it is an IMO-only
feature. This behavior is by design. Your understanding is appreciatd. I
have performed research, and unable to find any workaroud or tools to
export account settings.
Have a nice day!
Thanks & Regards
Alan Sun

|Thank you for quick reply.

|So there is no export for account info? ... well, I admit that is

is not

sophisticated
|piece of software; maybe for security reasons...
|Thx anyway!
