The mail database name is in the the Location document for the current location. See at the bottom righthand-side of your screen, it probably says Office. You can click on it, change the current location or update the current Location document.

The images are a means to prevent fake login programs. If you remember the final set of images when you typed the correct password, you can check the next time if the images are there again.

From your local system, at least:
- names.nsf
- notes.ini
- desktop*.*

1. With the help of location document.. which specify what home mail server is and mail db path is
2. To prevent spoofing by any other program.. everytime you login it is the exact set of images generated so you know it is a genuine password dialog
3. YOu have to backup notes.ini, names.nsf, desktop*.dsk, bookmarks.nsf files to retain your workspace
