    mail settings in registry

    as far as i know, all win32 (w2k/xp/98) registry settings for mail accounts are stored at :

    hkey_current_user\software\microsoft\internet account manager\accounts\+"current default user id"

    there i can get at userid, host, email address, etc. which i need to read into my application.

    BUT in VISTA its not....anyone know where in the registry it is??

    notes:

    "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities


    This key is kept for legacy purposes, but no longer contains much information. The Identities feature of Outlook Express has been removed in Windows Mail.


    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\IAM


    This key contains some information on the default accounts. In Outlook Express this key held all of the account information. In Windows Mail, most of the account information is now in .oeaccount files in the message store. See New Handling of Account Data on the Microsoft website. Note that when restoring a backed up copy, if Windows Vista has been reinstalled, the account passwords will need to be re-entered by the user manually."
