    Importing Address book from Windows Mail (Vista Home Premium) to Outlook Express v6 (XP machine)

    Windows Mail v6.0.6000.16386 Windows Vista Home Premium

    I am able to properly import address book (.wab file) from OE to Windows
    Mail however I am unable to successfully do the opposite, exporting address
    book from Windows Mail to OE.

    The steps I did were:

    Open Windows Mail, File, Export, Addressbook and chose CSV

    On Outlook Express XP Machine, I try to import the CSV but couldn't.

    I tried both basis CSV and vCard format but none work.

    sn

    Export a csv file from OE Address Book. Open the csv file. Open the WM
    csv file. Compare the column names.
