Default OE import export address book discrepancies

When i export my address book from my main pc to my laptop, i don't have the
same number of addresses (1913 on the PC vs. 1993 in the laptop) and i do not
get all of the sub folders (PC 6, Laptop 4) and some of the sub folders have
a different number of contacts. i am using a comma serperated value format
file to make the exchange. is there a way to eliminate duplicates either by
name or address? thanks.

Default OE import export address book discrepancies

Close Outlook Express and click Start/Run and type:
WAB /a note the space between WAB and /a,
and hit OK. This will open the Address Book with all folders and groups
visible. Try the export from that menu using File/Export/Other Address
Book (Text) and see if that works for you. Normally Folders and Groups
do not export nor import but rather only those contacts that are listed
in the Shared Contacts will. For more info about the address book, see
