The ~ is a backup file automatically made by OE. You need to rename the
file removing the ~ so that the file extension is simply .WAB. Then it
will be usable as an address book.

How can I import my old wab file which is still in the folder
(C:\Documents and Settings\name\Application Data\Microsoft\Address
Book) but doesn't show up in the import other address book box?
I don't know how to open it or how tp change the file into a text file
(Comma Separated Values) or IF - LDAP Data Interchange Format in
order to import it.
