Outlook POP3 migration

Guest

Hello, 1st time user... I just migrated my Outlook 2003 .pst file to
another hard drive and lost all of my pop3 information. (all other contact
and email info is intact) I have like 20 websites that I pull mail from so
it would be quite cumbersome to look up all of the POP3 info again. Is that
info contained in another file that I need to move over? Thanks for any help!

Mail Account information is not stored in the pst file. If you still
have access to the other machine, go to Start-All Programs-Microsoft
Office-Microsoft Office Tools-Save My settings Wizard. That will create
a small file containing all your Account settings, Rules, etc etc. You
can then copy that to the new machine and do the reverse. if you don't
have access any more, then I'm afraid there is no alternative but to
re-create all your email accounts.

Thank you... I do have access to the old drive, but cannot boot to it(long
corrupted registry story) so I cannot run the command that you suggested. I
have it installed as a secondary drive. Is the POP3 information saved in any
other file that I can access? Thanks!

stored in the registry, there are third party utilities, some of which can
show some details, but then if the registry is corrupt.........
