Is there a way to actually export email account settings in Outlook 2010? By account settings I mean things like incoming and outgoing servers, account names, user names, passwords and connection settings like security and port setting.
I have like 16 email accounts and for this reason, I really have to say that I hate reinstalling Outlook! I don't even need to reinstall Outlook, but since Outlook is part of the Office 2010 suite and I need to reinstall it, it is inevitable. I know that this was not possible in previous versions, but I don't know about 2010. I only read about some registry hacks but I'm not sure it even works.

If you are familiar with the Registry Editor, navigate to and export;
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles\Outlook.After you move your PST file over, import this registry entry to the new PC. It will have all of your account settings. You may have the enter the password for each of those 16 accounts.
