All I want to do is import my Outlook 2003 addresses from my old Dell laptop (XP SP3) to my new HP G61 laptop (Win7). I've copied the .wab file onto a memory stick and that's as far as I can get. I can't see any option in firefox to import the .wab file. IT REALLY SHOULDN'T BE MADE SO HARD TO DO.

Chosen solution

If you have Outlook on same computer: Tools > import > Address book click on Next select: outlook click on next

you may need to map the fields.

Otherwise: You need to export the address book as .csv file.

then Tools > import > Address book click on Next select: Text file(Ldif. .tab. .csv, .txt) and click on Next.


If neither of the above are possible then you need to convert the .wab to a .csv file. One possible method found by googling: http://mysite.verizon.net/zakharin/software/Dawn/
