Default Restoring IMAP Settings

I recently had to remove my personal profile from my computer and start
afresh. When I came to restore my mail settings I imported the old Outlook
data file that I had backed up from.

C:\Documents and Settings\jennert\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook

This restored the contacts and calendar items fine but I also have two IMAP
mail accounts that were not restored. When I imported the data files that
were associated with these in the same directories it appeared to import the
already downloaded messages but not the actual settings. After fiddling a
bit I eventually restored the IMAP mail accounts from scratch.

I guess what I'm asking is where are the settings for IMAP accounts stored
and how can I back them up so I can restore in a more efficient fashion
should I need to do this again?
