Where is the Email Account info stored?

[Guest]

I currently have my PST file stored on a separate partition from my program
files. Then if I need to restore an image, my data is unaffected.

However, is there a way to perform a similar storage to my email accounts? I
just restored a partition and I lost all of my account information (Tools ->
Email Accounts).

Where is that info stored? How do I store it elsewhere from the C: drive?

Thanks.

It's in the registry. In Office 2003 the Save My Settings wizard will save
that information. Office 2007 doesn't have that but the Vista migration tool
will move it.

In addition to what Vince says, you could also export the mail profile key
from the registry (HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows
Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\yourprofilename) and restore it after. You may
have to reset the account passwords, though.
