There will come a time when you will need to import and export your Outlook Express contacts. And what I mean by contacts is your address book. This can occur when you wish to have your contacts available on another computer of yours, your children’s computer, or you simply need to transfer your settings over to the new computer that you just purchased.

In the following tutorial I will explain how to do this. It is actually quite simple just relax and take your time and everything will be all right.

Exporting contacts from Outlook Express:

•   Open your Outlook Express e-mail client.
•   Click the Addresses button from the menu. It should be next to  Send/Recv
•   Click File–> Export–> Address Book
•   Browse to the location you would like to save the file to and then  save the file. The file will be saved in My Documents by default with a WAB extension. You can of course choose your own location.

Importing contacts back to Outlook Express:

•   Open your Outlook Express e-mail client.
•   Click File–> Import–> Address Book
•   Browse to the file (WAB extension) you saved in the step above,  select it and click Open.
