    Hi,

    Can anyone tell me if there is a method of copying all the email settings from one user account to another.

    I have several user accounts and would like to configure the emails accounts for each to all be the same. If have at least 12 emails accounts and it takes a great deal of time to setup each user account with the email, username, password, mail servers and other stuff for all email accounts in each user account.

    I wondered if there may be a way to simply copy these settings from one account to another.

    Regards BrokenPC

    Hi,

    Thanks for the reply.

    I did forget to mention that I am using Outlook 2002 (SP3). Also I have setup my PC so that the outlook.pst file is on another partition and shared by all user accounts. I did consider using the export feature but I suspect that I would end up with lots of email duplicates (and maybe address duplicates) because I only use a single PST file.

    I also suspect that the email account settings are not stored in the PST file because if they were, when I modified one account it would appear in all the others because of the single PST file. This led me to wonder exactly where the email account settings are stored and if they can be copied from one account to another.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Regards BrokenPC
