Where Are Email Account Settings Stored?

I'm currently using a Verizon Touch Pro 2, stock WM6.1 ROM, and am awaiting a refurb to replace it (screen alignment fluctuates way too much, with no cause). They said the refurb would have the new WM6.5 ROM, and if so (which I tend to doubt, but we'll see), I won't be able to do a simple Restore from my SPB Backup to get up and running quickly.

So I'm getting prepared to have to reinstall and reconfigure everything again. I've figured out that I can copy Cookies/Bookmarks using the appropriate Opera files, etc. But as I have several email accounts to set up, each of which has multiple settings (server names, user names, passwords, etc.), this would be a pretty tedious task to manually input all over again.

So I got to wondering if there were files or registry settings on my current device that I could export or copy, and then manually import or paste these into my new TP2 to recreate these email accounts. That could save me some time, plus I'm just curious where WM is stashing this info!

I've looked through the Device's files, all through the Registry, but can't find anything that identifies itself as holding those email settings. I've Googled but haven't come up with any clues.

Does anybody here know where this information is stored, and whether or not I can manually set up these email accounts on my new phone using these files or registry settings?


Also, with regard to Apps that I previously installed, selecting the Card as the place to install, rather than the device:

Other than a shortcut being put in the Start Menu, does a program typically still add other files or registry settings to the Device itself, even when it is installed to the Card?

The reason I ask is that, for example, I installed Text Twist on my card, and when I had to do a Hard Reset using a Backup that pre-dated installing Text Twist, I reinstalled it afterwards. All my previous Game Scores were gone. I would have assumed these were stored on the Card, since that's where the App was installed, but either this is not true, or reinstalling to the Card wiped out the previous values. What's the scoop here?

So do I really need to reinstall these Apps that are already installed to the Card? Are there other things that take place during an install that require a reinstallation, even if it is to the Card? Or can I just leave the Card alone, and simply copy a link to Windows Startup Menu?
