How to binary serialize static members of a class?

I want to binary serialize a class, which has only static items (variables & objects of different types) which I use globally in my code.

When I want to serialize it, I get the error "'EmailAccount' is a type and cannot be used as an expression" :
binformatter.Serialize(filstream, EmailAccount);

I even tried to create an object from the class and serialize it. But it seems to only save the instance variables and not the static ones.

Is there a way to serialize them?
