I may be wrong, but I don't think wab files are the right type to go into Windows Live Mail. I seem to remember that you need to use a comma deliminated format.

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.
