Vista - Importing my address book from OE to WM

My addressbook for some odd reason was not stored in my message store and
therefore could not import it to WM along with my message folders. I coped
it as AddressBook but find the extensions for each address strange lookiing.
It is green and does not resemble the usual extension with each address.

Would appreciate your help.

Thanks.


Raya

It's never been stored in the message stores.

It's stored in a WAB file

Waiting to hear from you.

Chris
