Changing from outlook express to outlook

[Guest]

I just had a major meltdown on my desktop running XP. The new one is runnig
vista and only has OUTLOOK. I used outlook express only for my email since I
used PALM for my calender etc.

I have succeded in getting all of the old email moved to this system but
cannot find the address book that was in outlook express. Therefore I cannot
send!

Does anyone know where outlook express saved it's address book?

Why are you not using Windows Mail, the OUtlook Express replacement?

OE uses a Windows Address Book (.WAB) file, the filename is usually
(username).WAB, hence, if your username on XP was "divots3", you'd be
looking for a file named "divots3.wab"
