If you are using Microsoft Outlook Express or MS Outlook and you have set up an account, you will have at least one entry in the registry:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager\Accounts\00000001]
"Account Name"="[email protected]"
"Connection Type"=dword:00000000
"POP3 Server"="pop3.isp.com"
"POP3 User Name"="user"
"POP3 Password2"=hex:01,02,70,00,6f,00,70,00,2e,00,63,00,68,00,65,00,6c,00,6c,\
00,6f,00,2e,00,63,00,6f,00,6d,00,30,00,34,00,39,00,42,00,38,00,33,00,35,00,\
30,00,00,00
"POP3 Use Sicily"=dword:00000000
"POP3 Prompt for Password"=dword:00000000
"SMTP Server"="smtp.isp.com"
"SMTP Display Name"="user"
"SMTP Email Address"="[email protected]"
"POP3 Skip Account"=dword:00000000
"SMTP Organization Name"="Company Name"
"POP3 Port"=dword:0000006e

If you have mor than one account, the account number would be 00000002, 00000003, etc. instead of 00000001.

Now what do I want?

When you read the line Password2"=hex: ... you will get some long crazy hex numbers.
If you have programmed your own little mail client, you
can either enter all account information again (stupid work) which will take a lot of time, or you could just import the existing accounts.

I can now import any data which is not encrypted, but I still can't import all configurations and passwords needed for the accounts.

Does anyone know how to import accounts from MS Outlook EXPRESS (v. 5.5 - System: Windows 2000 SP1) ?

thx, vbzero
