Windows 7 - Outlook Express Address Book

Asked By Hägar on 16-Jun-12 12:18 PM
My wife wants to switch from using Outlook Express to Outlook.  The question
is this:  Does the address book (*wab) import easily, or are there any
pitfalls ??

I thought they actually shared the same Address book, but I have never used
Outlook at all, but knowing Outlook Express & the Window's Address Book
application, as well as I do - and having used the Window's Address Book to
export / import all contacts to things like iTunes, I am fairly sure you will
be able to do what you need to without too much hassle.

Both  Outlook and Outlook Express can export and import *.vcf files
(Business Cards), so at the very least, you should be able to export all
your contacts from OE individually, then import them again into MS
Outlook...

Wishing you every success...
