OEQB Instructions:
http://www.oehelp.com/OEBackup/oeqb.htm

I just reformatted about two weeks ago. Four separate addresses in three
identities. I copied the folder that needs to be created to use OEQB from CD
to my reformatted machine. Removed the Read Only attribute and clicked
Restore. In a few seconds, OE was just the way I left it. All account
settings, message rules, Address Book, etc. were restored. The /only/ thing
I had to do was to reenter my account passwords. Honestly, it took only
about 10 minutes to have OE working the exact way it did before. Even the
toolbars were the way I had them. IMHO, get it.

Does QEQB also back up the accounts? It does the dbx and everything else
needed?
That would be terrific.

Same as the mail accounts. Tools | Accounts | News. Click on each account
one at a time and export them to a backup folder. The settings can be
imported after a reformat, but the individual groups would have to be
subscribed to again. This is a very handy tool to have.

This freeware tool backs up everything in OE in seconds. Disregard what
is written in red. That is referring to a different program.

I see how to export the address book and email info.
Is there a way to export newsgroup account setup info also?

I have setup 6 different news accounts and need a way to
store the info in case I need to reinstall windows again.

How do I do that?

Thanks.
