Default Where does Outlook 07 store POP3 email account info

Outlook 2007 stores account information in exactly the same place in the registry as Outlook 2003. You are looking under HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows Messaging Subsystem\Profiles, right?

Outlook 03 stored email account information in the registry. I have made
two different installations of Outlook 07--one as an upgrade from Outlook 03
on an XP system and one as a new installation on a Vista RTM installation.
The upgrade migrated the account to 07 and took the account information out
of the registry. When I add a new account in the new installation, the
information isn't stored in the registry. I imagine it's in an XML file
somewhere, but I've looked at both in the Local and Roaming directories.
Anyone know where is resides?

Thanks!
