Where are the settings for OE stored

Hi,
my hard drive went down this morning, heat I think, as its been very
warm/hot here for the last few days and the machine has been on all the
time.
Anyway, I have just finished re installing what I need for now, but I am
at a point where I need to copy across from the old HD to my new one all
the settings for my mail account etc.
I have managed to slave the old HD for this purpose, and its hanging
free at the moment.

thanks

defalt store folder for emails can be found here:
C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application
Data\Identities\{<long hex number>}\Microsoft\Outlook Express

about the email account settings I don't know if you can find them if you
didn't export them before.

And the address book(s) are here:

C:/Documents and Settings/<username>/Application Data/Microsoft/Address
Book/<username>.wab

I think the other settings are stored in the registry.
