saving account info. and messages

I am going to put window xp on a new drive. I am using windows live mail for
4 accounts. wildblue, comcast, hotmail ect. How can I save and reinstall all
my folders when I finish reinstalling windows xp? Is this info saved some
where other than on my computer?

Your hotmail account is saved. WLM doesn't actually take the information
from the server, it just copies it to your local drive. So anything in your
folders are still on the server.
Don't know about comcast or wildblue.
In XP you can find copies of all your email etc here :-
C:\Documents and Settings\{Username}\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail

It's not quite as easy as doing a copy paste though as when you re-install
you still have to re-set up your account information. Before you un-install
however you can export your account information (file menu) then simply
import it again when you re-install. This will only save your account info,
not your actual emails. To do that you would need to copy everything in the
above mentioned folder.
