How to recover my contacts ifo from outlook express?

I seem to have lost all my info that was stored in outlook express.

The address book is a wab file, then look for the *.wab and see if find you it.  There is also a backup.  For backup research ~ * ~ and see if you find no results.  If you do, then rename the file to give a wab file extension and then click on it and see if it opens.  See also http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm

  • How can I move mail and contacts from Outlook Express on a computer that is running XP Pro to Windows Live Mail on another computer in Windows 7?

    Can someone please provide a solution step by step? Most of the messages and the links here seems to apply to a different situation, as OE6 and WLM residing on the SAME computer, or under the SAME operating system. Not so in my case.

    I see that Windows Live Mail is supposed to be able to import contacts and emails OE6. But where am I supposed to put old OE6 files on the computer so that Windows Live Mail can find them? OE6 only let me "export" to Outlook or Microsoft Exchange, nor of what exists on my old computer, nor my other!

    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:

    For messages:

    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.

    Location of OE message store:

    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.

    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.

    For addresses:

    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.

    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.

    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.

  • How to migrate from Outlook Express to Thunderbird?

    I'm moving from a Windows XP computer to a new computer with Win7. Do I first move from Outlook Express to Thunderbird on the old machine (and what is the procedure?) and migrate them to the new, or configure Thunderbird to the new and export data from Outlook Express from the old machine? Thank you.

    Hi Jerryg,
    After reading your query on how to Outlook Express to convert Thunderbird, I searched on the web. Finally, I have concluded that there is no manual method to convert Outlook Express messages in MBOX file. This process can be done in two phases, which are:

    1 convert DBX file in PST
    2 then convert PST file in MBOX file
