Recover Email and Address Book From old hard drive

How do I recover Email and Address from old hard drive that I have slaved to
a new hard drive

Search the old hard drive for all files that end with a WAB extension.
Double click each one until you find the contacts you wish and use that one
to import from into Outlook Express, using OE menu File/Import/Adress Book.

Please forgive intrusion but I haven't been able to get the "New thread" and
the "Question" buttons to open so I could post. Been trying for the last
hour. So sorry again. Someone tell me what's wrong? Thanks.

Have you restarted your machine since this started? If not, do so and try.

Other than that, you may have a damaged identity especially if it is the
default Main Identity. File | Identity | Add New Identity. Create a new one
and test it. If all is well, you can import your messages and Address Book
from the old identity and delete it.

All I can suggest is that you not use that clunky Web interface. Use
Outlook Express.

In Outlook Express go to Tools | Accounts | Add (or New) | News.
Set up an account for this news server:

msnews.microsoft.com

The server is free and does not require you to logon. This news server
carries over 2200 newsgroups related to Microsoft products and keeps
messages at least 30 days.

Thank you Bruce, I did restart it and went to bed, then I couldn't sleep
thinking of my tech problem, so here I am, trying to tackle the problem of
trying to post here, and then posting the problem... ) You really think
that one of my identities is damaged? Even though Im not using them since
I'm only posting here? anyway, I'll copy your suggestions and will try doing
that. Thanks again. Adela

Thank you Frank, I agree that this forum format is rather difficult to
handle, and I never liked the web emails anyway. One thing I'm going to do
is delete my signature as there's no room. )

I could do it on my OE though I don't like overburdening my email with so
many additional messages. I ask myself, why I couldn't enter to post here???

Anyway, I'm copying your information too and will try doing it from my OE.
Thanks again. Adela

The problem is that few of those who answer most questions have tried the
Web interface and don't like it (too clumsy and slow), so we don't know much
about it. And aren't interested in learning. There are a few who use it
who might answer this thread.

Hi again Frank, I forgot to ask how do I get to my signature to delete it? I
went to my profile as it's the most logical place, but no, it wasn't there.
Do you happen to know? I guess when I created the signature I didn't realize
it was going to have to "live" in such small quarters... LOL! I guess MS
with all the trillions they've made still don't want to give a little more so
as to have a comfortable forum... Adela
