I'm not having any luck with the address book (.wab) transfer. This worked on folders:
"Assuming you will be using Windows Live Mail, try this.
Copy ALL the Outlook Express files (including the one called Folders.dbx) into a new folder on your Win 7 machine to which you have full read/write access. Somewhere in your Documents folder would be ideal.
Then in WLM do File-Import-Messages-Outlook Express and navigate to where you put the folder.
For your Address book, do the same. Copy the WAB file to your Documents folder and in WLM click on Contacts, and do the same."
Any ideas, or how did you do it?
Thanks in advance.

You need only two tools: WD-40 and duct tape.
If it doesn't move and it should, use WD-40.
If it moves and shouldn't, use duct tape.

Harry, Import and export your address book using .csv (common separated values) files.
