How to Move Email, Folders, Addresses to New Computer
You just forgot to configure your Outlook Address Book.

If you were using OL you should have been using Contacts, which is a
folder
within your pst.
The windows address book, wab, is I believe used by Outlook Express, a
completely different App.
I 'believe' you can simply copy the wab to your new PC, then within OL
import addresses.
I was using Outlook 2000 most recently, not Express. I do have a list of
"contacts" in that address book, if that's what you mean. I was able to
find my pst file and move it to the new computer and get my email folders
and emails up and running. But when I click address book now on the new
computer, I get the following message: the address list can not be
displayed. The contacts list associated with the address list could not be
opened; It may have been moved or deleted..."
Any idea what is wrong?
Thanks,
Jack
