You can actually back up the entire Imail key or load it with (or any key or
group of keys) the regedit command from a dos batch file and then get task
scheduler to run it as often as you like.
I wrote a script that dumps the Imail registry keys, a copy of the complete
registry and copies them to several other network locations, and I have a
freeware directory compare util doing replication onto the backup machine
which loads the saved Imail reg keys 5 minutes after they have been created,
its naff not very sophisticated and a bit amateurish,,,, but it works !
