Exporting and Outlook Express Address Book

[Scott Derrick]

Help!!

I can't figure out how to export my Outlook Express Email Address Book. I
know how to navigate to get to the export interface but when I try to export
it asks me which address book I want to export. I try to find the address
book and just can't.

This problem doesn't seem to be addressed anywhere. Please help

Oh yes there is - most EXPERIENCED usenet users do so with a proper
newsreader, NOT the web interface, and set (especially in a high-volume
group) the view to "Unread messages". They do not want to wade through large
numbers of read messages just to see what on earth you are replying to.

Don't be so stupid. Responding to posts without quoting the original post
makes it almost impossible to know what the response refers to.

I agree with everything you said.
Unfortunately you weakened your credibility by top posting. Doh!

I'm confused. Do you mean you don't know what FORMAT to export your address
book to? What EXACTLY are you trying to do? In my version of OE6 there is no
option to "find the address book" when I click on File-Export-Addressbook,
it just exports in the format chosen. there IS an option to call the
exported file a name that you want, but that is all.

I assume you're trying to create a backup copy.

Do a search for *.wab .... that's the OE address book, then copy/paste it
somewhere.
