Save windows mail settings

I'd like to be able to save my Windows mail settings so if I need to
reinstall I can set up my accounts as they previously were. I used to do
this with OE6 by saving 4 different registry keys and back up my store
folders some place else. I'd like to do this again remembering that I have
several user accounts. How's the best way to do this?

Thank you,
Ed

I believe the free trial version of this product will do that:

Re: Save windows mail settings

See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx and the section on WinMail. The settings are
in the registry under this key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows Mail

while the account information is in the message store. You will have to
re-enter the passwords once you reinstall though.
