Tried importing the PST file that's stored in C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst ?

M$'s own personal folders backup add-in for outlook can be found here, with a choice for outlook 2000+2002, or 2003.

The MS program only backs up the data, not the mail settings. Look at www.slipstick.com for extensive Outlook information. If she ain't got it, you'll have trouble finding it.

thanx for all the help! slipstick is one very cool site too!

i found that outlook only stores contacts and messages in outlook.pst. account data is stored in the registry. I've found a proggy called Outback Plus which allows backing up all settings in outlook (including accounts). It already supports Outlook 2003 as well and allows some IE settings to be backed up also.
