Hi Erwin

The Outlook express mailboxes are found in c:documents and
settings(user)application dataidentities(really long alpha numeric
"word") then in one of the sub folders there... I think the address
book is stored there too, else it's part of the windows address book,
which is found in the windows folder? (tha's just a guess though...).

I think the addresses CAN be shared, or at least imported. Although if
they are imported, I'm pretty sure that they should migrate into
Outlooks contact list, as a separate entity.

HTH

Hi Techies

I migrated last week a user from an old to a new notebook.
I'm pretty familiar with Outlook/MSEX server but apparently his contacts
are now missing.

>From what I understand from the user they where not stored in his
contacts folder of his Echange Server mailbox.
So normaly (in my experiance) they are in a WAB (Windows Address Book)
or in a seperate PST file.
But gues what, I searched the drive, nothing to find with those
contacts.

So now I'm wondering if they could be stored somewhere else.
Like in Outlook Express? I never install O-EX at a customer site, so I
really don't know if the contacts in O-EX can be shared with Outlook (2K
in this case), E-mail can so....

I see some other contact management applications coming up that are an
add-in in Outlook, like Plaxo.
Now, I really have no confidence in Plaxo (mostly because it's free) so
I wonder if someone has this add-in and you remove it, do you loose your
contacts? and is reinstalling the Plaxo -add-in the onlyy wy to get them
back in this case?


Or any other clues would help me.
