Where IAF file
I came to know about the news that in previous versions of Microsoft Outlook, we were able to import and export Internet Mail Account settings to an Internet Account file (.IAF) format. But now this feature is available in Microsoft Outlook 2000 Internet Mail Only (IMO) by clicking Accounts on the Tools menu. So tell me is this 8infromaiton true or not?

Re: Where IAF file
IAF is a file format used for importing and exporting account information in Microsoft Outlook Express 6, Microsoft Windows Mail (Windows Vista), Microsoft Windows Live Mail and older versions of Microsoft Outlook. IAF files can no longer be exported by current versions of Outlook. However, Outlook 2002 Standard Edition, Outlook 2003, and Outlook 2007 can import them through the following menu option: File → Import and Export → Import Internet Mail Account Settings. IAF files can also be opened using the Online IAF Decoder Web browser-based application. It can be decoded by code already available on the Internet. Essentially, IAF comes in 2 flavours: WideChar version (16-bit characters – UTF-16LE format), used by Windows Mail and Windows Live Mail NarrowChar version (8-bit characters, encoded in specific charset encoding – usually the same like OS charset) used by Outlook Express 6 and older Microsoft Outlook For NarrowChar version assignment of Field IDs is more or less known and available in the decoder code above. But, for the WideChar version, not all fields are recognized. Field IDs are 9-digit numbers organized into sections which begin with certain 3-digit number which I will call “sections”. Between the Field IDs there are gaps, probably left intentionally for future upgrades to the file format without breaking the old format. The Field ID ranges are organized as following: • 305-306 – General settings section • 311-314 – IMAP settings section • 321-323 – HTTP settings section • 325-326 – NNTP settings section • 331-332 – POP3 settings section • 338-339 – SMTP settings section The numbers above represent only the first 3 digits of a 9-digit Field ID, so for example, a full Field ID might be: 305464304 – Belongs to “General settings” section and is Field ID for AccountName. 311952368 – Belongs to “IMAP settings” section and is Field ID for IMAPServer. The bold part of the Field ID number above represents the number from the above section range. |
