I cannot find the entries in the registry for OUtlook 2002 email account
info. In Outlook 2000 it used to be stored in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\Outlook\OMI Account
Manager\Accounts
The reason I need access to this information is as follows:
I move between several different offices for different companies and have
logins to different win 2000 domains (none are part of the same forest) As a
result, I have different profiles. In addition, for convenience, I keep my
Outlook pst file on my notebook which travels with me. I then use the
notebook as my file server and work off the local office machines. I also
sync my outlook pst file in some offices.
The problem is that outlook stupidly for some reason uses a unique account
id when you create a new internet mail account and the Rules system uses
this id to match accounts rather than - as I would have expected - its name.
Thus, the rules wizard cannot recognise the accounts set in different
profiles - it just shows the account as "specified". Thus I cannot have
rules set up in different profiles without having to reset the account name
in each one in each office I visit each time I visit it. How dumb can that
be!!
In Outlook 2000, I just edited the account id in the registry to change each
account id for each respective account to the same number. Then the system
worked perfectly. However, I cannot do that in 2002 because I cannot find
the location of the accounts.
I have searched the registry but find nothing. The old OMI Account settings
are there but they are obviously not used by 2002 because they contain
accounts I have since deleted and do not contain new accounts I have added.
Please help before I am driven demented

PS I know that if I copy my profile from one system to all the others that
this will work. However, this would be a real hassel and I cannot do this
each time I add a new account.
