First go to the program you want to import to [Outlook Express], find the import function and determine what import file types are supported. OE 6 = *.wab Does your Version of Outlook support exporting to *.wab?

I looked at the help but don't get it. If I can do the above can I uninstall Outlook? What happened was I installed Office XP over what I had on my machine. I use Outlook Express after Installing at first everything was in OE but then I lost my folders, they came back and I lost the contacts which didn't come back. If it is possible to get the contacts back into OE would you tell me how in baby steps please as I am too old for big steps. I will appreciate any help you can give me.
