Exporting email accounts and everything else not stored in PST?

[The Apprentice]

I am exporting everything in Outlook to a new computer.

If everything is stored here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook......

I am assuming I must save each key the exact same and copy to the new computer. Is this
correct?

I would really appreciate a tutorial on this or advice on the best way to do this.

Many thanks

Going that route will probably leave you with one big corrupted mail profile
and lot of error messages. That registry key is only the tip of the iceberg
which makes up your mail profile and additional settings. You'd be faster
recreating it manually than trying to backup and restore it manually and
then realize you still have to recreate it.

Toolbars, Account Settings, Favorite Folders, editor settings, calendar
settings, cache files etc... are a bit more tricky to back up and restore
individually as several of those hold a dependency on each other which
cannot easily be restored without making a certain level of abstraction
first and then later recreate that dependency again.

If you want to backup and everything in a single file so you can easily
restore it again, I'd recommend to use a specialized tool for that. I've had
great results with ABF Outlook Backup;
