How to copy an address book in Outlook express w/ folders...
Anyone know how? Sure, you can export an address book (I think windows calls this a WAB or something), but if you store your contacts in "folders" (different than groups) to keep them organized, you won't be able to import them back--say, on a new machine.
I don't like outlook express, but that's what I have to deal with at work, so thats what I'm gonna deal with. Anyone know how to get it done? You'll make my life much easier--maybe my girlfriend will bake you some cookies... |

Jonah is correct, you basically just copy and paste the .dbx files. You should export/import the address book too. Here's the full guide from microsoft..
