SYNC--Where are e-mail accounts and signature files?

[LadyJack]

I just began using Outlook a couple of months ago. I haven't had occasion to
sync to my laptop until now. I use Second Copy 2000 to sync/copy files
between my desktop and laptop computers.

I ran the sync for my Outlook PST file, then opened on my laptop. NONE of my
e-mail accounts are there. Also, NONE of my signature files are there. All
of the e-mail folders are there, as are all calendar/journal entries. Just
no e-mail account info and no signatures.

WHERE does Outlook store the e-mail accounts and signature information, if
it is not in the PST file? I surely hate to have to setup all of those
e-mail accounts and signatures again.

Thanks for your help!

WHERE does Outlook store the e-mail accounts and signature
information, if it is not in the PST file?

Account information is stored in the Registry and the actual signatures are
kept in %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Signatures (which is a
hidden folder).

I surely hate to have to
setup all of those e-mail accounts and signatures again.

Copy the signatures and place them in the similarly named folder on the
laptop. Export the Accounts registry keys
(HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Mesaging Subsystem\Profiles), copy the .reg file to the laptop and import
into the registry there. Make sure you backup the laptop registry first.
