Deleting the Windows Mail address book

[Guest]

Since my Address Book was imported incorrectly from Outlook Express, I'd like
to export what they have as an address book to a CSV file, fix it up in Excel
and then import it back to Windows Mail. I'd like to know how to delete the
address book so I can re-import it.

There is no "address book". WinMail uses a folder named Contacts to store
individual files for each person and group.

The easiest way to delete them is to open WinMail, click on Contacts,
highlight all entries with Control-A, and hitting the delete key.

Dear Dave....It does not work....no matter how you do it, it will restart
your windows explorer and shut down the contacts folder....
NEED A SOLUTION PLEASE....ANYONE.

If you get no other solutions, there is always the solution of
upgrading to Windows Live Mail:
