Hi All.
With Outlook 97/2000 it was possible to export Outlook accounts on a file to
reuse on an other computer.
This utility is not present in Office XP.

Export the Registry key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles and import it into
the other computer's Registry.

You'll have to enter your password(s) in the accounts again.

Any addins installed on one and not the other are either broken or will
result in errors. It's better to recreate the accounts or use a 3rd party
tool.
