OE how do I import mail & Addresses from one HD to another

I recently installed a new Mother Board and Hard drive I put my old hard drive (win 98) as a F drive I am now running Win XP Prof.

I need to know how to get my mail and addresses from my old hard drive wich has OE 6 on it and transfer to my new drive wich also has OE 6. When I try importing it finds the WAB file and then it says nothing is in it. Can anyone help me. Thanks Jim Cloutier

 

Look here under the FAQs..Post back good or bad.

OE

 

If I remember correcty the WAB ( Windows Address Book ) is not cross platform compatable.

I believe it will only open with the original OS that created it.

If your old e-mail can be exported as a .CSV file ( comma separated value ) it should then import into the new OE. As it can be imported into most e-mail systems.

But I have not OE or the WAB for so long that I may not be correct about this.
