An unexpected Error has Occurred when importing mail acounts *.iaf into Outlook Express
In Outlook Express, I have sucessfully exported the mail account to an usb stick and its saved an nnnn.iaf file
I rebuilt the operating system
When trying to import that file back into Outlook Express
Tools > Accounts > Import
>go to me stick and select the appropriate .iaf file
I get 'An unexpected Error has Occurred'
Any suggestions?

it doesnt read the iaf files from the store directory, its an internal configuration set in registry somewhere, thats why it needs importing.
I'll try moving it there and importing from there, but i dont like me chances. I'll post the result shortly.

Ok problem solved kinda, I didnt get chance to test your theory in the end War1 as the customer was in a hurry, so I just re-set up the account manually. Luckily he managed to remember his email password and i looked up the pop settings by googling them.
I'll award all that helped points to be fair. but from the looks of it War1's comments were the most likely to work.

Had to solve this manually in the end as my customer was in a hurry to take his PC. so I've assigned split points to all those that helped. though next time I come across this i will certainly try War1's suggestion as it seemed the most likely, ill post again to confirm the results.
