Under Import, Vista Mail supports the import of Mail Account Settings. Under
Export, however, there is no provision for exporting the current settings.
If you are trying to backup your mail system so that it can be fully
restored later, it is necessary or useful to have a backup of the Mail
Account Settings, and, if so, how can you do it?

Go to Tools, Accounts, select the account, Export.
Do this for each account. The account settings will be saved in
individual .IAF files which are usable for import by WM, WLM, and OE.
