Default address book

Hi,



I use MS Outlook Express 6.0 (OE6). My OS is Windows XP (professional).



I have 2 questions about address book.



Q1: I want to export email addresses from a group in the address book of OE6
to an address book of OE6 on the new computer. What$B!G(Bs the best way to do
that?



I tried to export address book (WAB) to a CD first and took it to the new
computer and tried to import address book (WAB) from the CD to an address
book of the new account hoping that that group would appear in the left pane
of address book. But no groups appeared although all the email addresses
from other accounts were also imported.



Q2: I have 10 different accounts. Each account has different email addresses
in the address book. Is there a way to save email addresses in each address
book?



Again I tried to export address book (WAB) to a different drive. I could do
it. However, this action saves all email addresses from each account all
together. Is there a way to save email addresses for each account
separately? I just want to export email addresses in each account to the
address book of the corresponding account on my new PC.



Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Q1:

Go to Start | Run and type
wab /new
to create a new, empty Address Book.

Now open the group in your Address Book.
Select the first entry.
Hold down the Shift key while you select the last entry.
Press Ctrl-C

Open the new Address Book and click once in the pane for entries.
Press Ctrl-V

Q2:
Open an identity and open the Address Book.
Export to a Text (Comma Separated Values) file.

Hi Ken,

Thanks for your posting here.

Based on my knowledge, the group will be imported after importing the whole
address book. Please check the steps you used to export/import the address
according to the following article:
OLEXP: How to Back Up and Recover Outlook Express Data
http://support.microsoft.com/default...B;EN-US;270670

As for question 2, you may have to import the all the addresses to Text
(Comma Separated Values) file using Export wizard in OE. And then you can
edit the CSV file and save the addresses for each account to separate file.
You can use Excel to modify the CSV file.

Hope this helps. If you need further help, just post back to let me know

Thanks & Regards
Alan Sun

I think you'll find that Groups and Folders neither import nor export, Alan.
