Mulitiple Accounts - How to Separate Accounts for Individual OE Identities

I have a Dell Dimension 8200 computer with windows XP Pro (SP2) installed,
also with all of the current MS current security updates. I originally had
one ISP account, using MSN dialup, and one identity in OE for MSN. I just
recently obtained SBC Yahoo DSL. After the SBC DSL connection was
confirmed, I setup an email account and three newsgroup accounts for the SBC
DSL. Unfortunately they were setup in the OE original identity. After
thinking about it, I decided to setup a second OE identity for the SBC DSL
connection and this was done without any apparent problem. I completed the
SBC DSL mail account in the second identity, but did not want to do this
for the newsgroups since it is time consuming.

QUESTION: Is it possible to transfer or import the SBC DSL newsgroup
accounts (three of them) from the original OE identity so that I will not
have to go thru the effort of accomplishing the newsgroup setup accounts
again, in the second OE identity account??

Thanks for any help, Sam.
