ExportingCopying Address book from Outlook to Outlook Express

the .WAB file is outlook express's address book. MS Outlook stores it's addresses, calendar, contacts, messages, etc in one all-encompbutting file. It's the .PST file. However Outlook Express cannot import directly from this PST file (some wonderful interoperability on MS's part). You'll have to try and export the contacts from MS Outlook using it's export tool under the file menu. Export it to a comma separated value file, and then use OE's "other address book" import option and pick "text file comma separated values" as the source. Point it to the text file you exported from Outlook, and hopefully the data will come across intact. The problem is that the Outlook Contact list is far more elaborate than OE's address book, so you'll have to be careful as to how many information fields you attempt to import into OE's limited format. Outlook's plain address book doesn't seem to have an export utility, so you'll likely only have the contact folder as an export source. If you have no luck getting the information imported using that method, you might google for a utility that might do the job for you. There are lots of tools for managing Outlook data out there.
