We got tired of waiting for Microsoft to introduce an "Account Settings Export Wizard" or some other form of utility to backup your actual email accounts and not just your emails... So, we went ahead and did some research to find a solution, and to our astonishment, it's a lot easier than we imagined.... In fact it would take you less time and effort than reading this article! So here it is:

I trust you are aware of how to export a registry key using regedit.exe. Well, that's all you really need to know how to do.

Find the following registry key using regedit:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles

Export it and save it to a removable drive or device and simply double click it to restore your account settings, isn't that too simple?

Well, there is something else...you will have to enter the passwords for each account manually...I know, I know, it did sound too good to be true, however, I rather enter a few passwords than have to re-create all the accounts one by one!
