I recently converted from Outlook Expess to Windows Live email. Most of my
address book is in tact, only a few missing. How do I import the .wab file
when the File/import only allows for messages?

The program is Windows Live Mail.
Open Contacts, File, Import.

Thanks Ron, I had not looked in the correct place. I ran the import now I
have a worse mess. It replicated all the entries and added a 2 after each
name rather than bypassing duplicates and still did not pick up the missing
groups and names I needed.

These groups? are they nested, WLM contacts calls groups categories and
cannot nest them.

Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could
remember the darn question
