WLM 2011 seems to not allow import / export of the .iaf file. Unless I'm
just having troubles finding out where it got moved. I typically export my
settings (server, port email, password) to a config. file and save it to my
backup flash drive. Does anybody know if this there is a way to do this or
is it gone for good?
Thanks

I learned a long time ago that .. when a person resolves their own newsgroup
post, you should always post the resolution. Your welcome.
