Dear David and Everyone,
Thanks so much to all of you for all the info that has been sent to
me regarding my questions on importing the address book from OE to
Windows Live Mail.
Thanks much.
Many Blessings,
Pat Ferguson

I do not use Windows Live mail, so cannot help you on that end. But
transferring contacts from one mail client to the other, usually is
easily done, by saving the contact list to a standard address book
format, called WAB.
In Outlook Express, hit Alt-F, to go to the File menu, and scroll
down to the item that says Export. Hit Right-Arrow, and Choose
Contacts, or Address Book. Hit Enter, and choose the WAB format.
Make sure you know where you save the file.
In your new mail client, try looking through the menus, searching
for something like Import. Once found, direct it to the saved WAB
file, and the address book, including all mailing lists, or groups,
should be integrated with your new client.
Sorry, I dont have a chance on helping you much more than this, but
the WAB format is the standardized format for contact lists, so your
new client should likely have import-features to grasp that format.

Subject: Importing the contacts from Outlook Express to Windows Live Mail
Hi Everyone,
I'm helping a few Window-Eyes users move their contacts from one XP
computer with Outlook Express, to a Windows 7 Computer with Windows
Live Mail on the new machine.
I need to know where do we find the two contacts files in Outlook
Express, and what are they called, please?
And, where do we put these files in the Windows Live Mail program
folder, please?
then, do we have to actually import the contacts with some command in WLM?
I don't use either program, so please be very spacific in these
instructions, please. <smile>
Thanks much.
Many Blessings,
Pat Ferguson
