There should be an Import/Export wizard in the File menu, if I remember correctly. You wanna click that, click on "export to a file", click on "comma seperated values (windows)", select "contacts", and then it'll prompt you to save it somewhere. Hope that helps. If I'm wrong, someone else will probably correct me :)

Click your address book icon on the OE toolbar, THEN there is an export option under the file menu, don't use the export option under the OE menu, it's different...

Then you Export it as a WAB to use on OE again...or as a text file to use on another mail proggie like Mozilla...

just for info purpose

The Easiest way would be to do a Search for the following

Outlook Express Address Book = *.wab

Outlook Express Inbox, Sent Items, Folders = *.dbx

Microsoft Oulook = outlook.pst (contains EVERYTHING in Outlook)


btw this works for any os from Win95 to XP

One more thing, When searching, you may have to specify To Include All hidden files and Folders.
