As an old Outlook Express User I wanted to try out the new Outlook that comes with Office XP.
So I installed Office XP, started Outlook and I even managed to import successfully all of my Emails (Inbox, Send Items, etc...).
Only with my good old addressbook (*.wab) I had problems.
To keep things neat and clean I had organized my contacts into folders.
But now only those contacts were imported that were´n't in a folder.
And I could only import them with a trick "import => Outlook Express => Adressbook".
Is it possible to import the other contacts in my Adressbook too?
I can't find anything how to import them directly from the *.wab file.


I just saw that Outlook only imported those email accounts that had send and recieve activated. All my other less-used email-accounts weren't imported.

I finally found a way to import those contact (drag and drop them from the old addressbook to outlook).
This is SOOOO STUPID!! WHY CAN'T I IMPORT THEM FROM A FILE??????

But I still don't have all my email-accounts imported...
2 of my hotmail accounts don't get imported!!!
How can I do this?

This is getting annoying.... maybe I will kick it and stay with Outlook Express.

Outlook express is faster, and leaner... don't use outlook xp, unless you also use the calendar feature (and need it for palm sync...)
