It is easy to import and export your email
contacts in Outlook Express and you should do it as often as you can. My
email contacts are extremely important, as there are not only my friends
email addresses, but also my business email contacts. To backup your email
contacts takes about a minute of your time, so here's how to do it.
How to Export Your Email
Contacts in Outlook Express(Addresses)
- Select file from the top menu.
- Then choose Export and then Address Book.
- The box below will appear. Choose Microsoft Exchange Personal Address
Book.
- Then choose Export.
- Your done! The file will be located in C:\Program Files\Outlook Express
and
called WAB.exe.
I always copy that file and put it with my backup files on a disk...

Another option is to export your Email contacts
address book to a text file so you can
print it out. Choose TEXT FILE from the box pictured above and then
export. You will have to name the file and it will be saved in My
Documents.
Once you have exported
your email contacts and stored the file in a safe place, it is just as simple to
import them again.
How to Import your Email Addresses and
contact list.

You can also copy the file manually yourself if you go to C:\Documents and

Notes:
- Go to Outlook Express and
export your email contacts now, while you are reading this article. Store the
file on an external device, such as an external hard drive or a flash usb
stick.

Outlook Express, most email programs, even online services, have this same
backup feature.
