How to import/export windows mail rules

Hi there i figured out that i cant export my mail rules to a file in case of
having any problem with windows vista.
So what i want is keeping my rules in a file to save in my backup partition
to in case of formating my windows partition to put again THE great vista i
can impport my rules again without having to do them again.

is there anyway i can do this?

thanks

Yes. See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm The rules are stored in the
registry under the Windows Mail key.

See what I posted relative to backing up Winmail.
www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm

He hijacked the thread from your question. If you back up that and backup
the message store and database then you should have no problems.

The question was how to import RULES not messages.

If your messages won't import from the dbx files after following those
instructions, then your only recourse is to get a 3rd party program to use
to extract the messages from the dbx files.
