Can anyone tell me how to import or export an address book from Netscape 7.01 to Outlook Express, NS save the address as a .mab and OE saves it as .wab, file.
Thanks

Try.......
File/Import/Other address book...
and if one of the netscape flavors there doesn't work, then see if you can export your netscape address book to a comma seperated text file, or LDIF, or any other format. Seemed like I had the same problem back when i used to use netscape and they kept updating to bigger and better things.
Another thing you could do is send a "test" message to everyone including yourself from netscape, and then retrieve the message with OE. I know, not a good idea but it might work. In typical OE behaviour it will capture all the addresses in the message, unless they've changed that EXTREMELY ANOYING condition. (sorry, I just haven't cleaned out my OE address book since it got self spammed with LOTS of I don't know who they are addresses.)
OE for the Hotmail account
Eudora for the real account
Web interface for my old netscape.net address which gets 50 spam messages a week due to a public email address for 6 months or a girl in Australia that I ticked off way back when. :lol:
Eudora is the best email client I have found for windows so far. It can be as simple or fairly complex if you desire.
Linux has lots and lots of very nice email clients but they are still lacking a little in the video capture/edit department so I'm not there yet.

Is it a NAB file or a MAB file?
