• Answer:

  Export the Address Book to a .csv file Important Make sure that you follow this step if you use multiple identities in Outlook Express. Microsoft Outlook Express 5.x and Microsoft Outlook Express 6.0 use a Windows Address Book (.wab) file to store Address Book data. The individual data for each identity is stored in a folder by user name within the .wab file that is used. The only way to separate the Address Book data for different identities is to export the data to a .csv file while you are logged in as a specific identity. If the .wab file becomes dissociated from the user identities, the data can be exported only as one total. In this case, the data cannot be exported folder by folder. There is another reason to export the .wab file to a .csv file. If the .wab file not exported to a .csv file, but the .wab file is shared with Microsoft Outlook, the addresses are stored in the personal folders (.pst) file in Outlook. When you export the file to a .csv file by using the File menu in Outlook Express, the correct contacts are exported. However, if the Address Book is shared with Outlook, you cannot use the File menu option to export from the Address Book. This option is unavailable. To export the Address Book to a .csv file, follow these steps: -On the File menu, click Export, and then click Address Book. -Click Text File (Comma Separated Values), and then click Export. -Click Browse. -Select the Mail Backup folder that you created. -In the File Name box, type address book backup, and then click Save. -Click Next. -Click to select the check boxes for the fields that you want to export, and then click Finish. -Click OK, and then click Close. --------------------------------------… Import into Yahoo - Options - Import contacts - A desktop email program - Choose file - Continue...
