What does File, Import, News Account Settings do? Not something I have
tried but the next paragraph comes from help. It is probably just
another way to access the option in Tools, Accounts etc.

Newsgroup account settings: From an existing e-mail account. When you
import your newsroup account settings into Outlook Express, your
subscription records and other data, such as which messages you've
seen, is placed into your Outlook Express newsgroup account. You can
immediately pick up reading your newsgroups.

Do you need to Export? With messages you just import.

I am wondering what this phrase "such as which messages you've seen"
means? It seems to contradict what Jim Pickering said earlier in this
thread. Until I read this note in Help I believed what Jim said to be
true. I might test during the coming week.

You have to export and import for each Identity.

You could export the Registry keys as described in

Newsgroups neither import nor export. Sorry, but the developers
at
Microsoft consider the information in those newsgroups to be of
short duration use or value and have never listened to any request
to have them available for import/export.
