How to copy Windows 10 MAIL settings to a different computer

As I recall, Windows 8.1 MAIL setting synced across different computers.  You could configure accounts one place and the same configuration would sync to others.  Most useful.

With Windows 10 MAIL that does not work.  It does not appear to be among the settings that are synced.

As a workaround, I'd be happy to manually copy over (or export) the MAIL settings from one configured machine and then place them back in the other machine(s).

Is this possible?  Where are the settings stored?  A file/folder someplace?  In the registry?

(Ideally the would sink among desktops and phones as well but that may be asking too much.)

Thanks!

Would still appreciate a solution to this.

Will it be provided in Anniversary update?

Doubtful.  It is  not in the current insider build and that is very close to the anniversary release.

This stuff must be stored SOMEPLACE, so that it could be exported from Machine A and imported to Machine B.

In olden days it would have been an .ini file.  Today it might be Registry.

Can somebody tell me where???

If the two machines are using the same MS ID and you have sync turned on it should sink automatically.  If not you are going to spend more time trying to figure this out than if you simply configured the second machine.

If it is in registry chances are its encrypted (or binary).

Why are you so relectant to configure a single application?

Actually, Windows 10 does NOT sync MAIL settings from one machine to another, at least mine doesn't.  I wish it did (I believe Windows 8/8.1 did this).

I've got nine email accounts, and five Windows 10 Machines.  When I change the password on of the email accounts, I sure would like that change to propagate to the others.
