Thanks a lot!!! I’ve done this manually too many times and copying/merging the registry settings is a real timesaver.

Your unselfish sharing is appreciated.

I may THANK you dear. You are Gr8. I looked for the solution all over the net, but you are the ONLY one, who could show the way.
And it was so simple…

Thanks once again & Hats off to you….

The Friends list and the Blacklist are stored as simple text files, they aren’t stored in the registry. I would try to find them in the application directory or in the Application Data section of your profile.

After importing the reg file i only got the email settings correct – not the friends list etc – any idea about why ?

That’s a tough one, if they change the way the settings are stored, or what settings there are you won’t be able to simply import your settings. About the only thing I can think of would be to export the keys from the new version and compare to the keys of the old version. You might find something simple that you could change that would allow you to get them imported after all. Hope that helps.

What can you do to restore your settings from a previous version to a newer version? I tried importing my registry settings as you described but when launching Mail washer I get an error stating: ‘List index out of bounds (-1)’

Any ideas?

I always wondered who discovered Mailwasher when I first started working at SLS. It was always recommended to me by the other techs who worked there, but I had wondered …. who discovered all of this cool software. Now I know. Ha.
