Is there a way to read/view a WAB file?

Can it be located in a separate folder attached to the other OE folders
(Inbox, Sent, etc....)?

I keep the OE folder on a separate drive just in case the Window drive
crashes. Loss of old(er) e-mail and contacts in past timea taught me to NOT
keep it on 'C'.

It can't be in with the OE folders. Do you want to keep a copy of the WAB
file separate for a backup? Or do you want to print it out?

If the former, Open the Address Book and File | Export | Address Book (wab)
to wherever you wish. You can click on it and it will open like your regular
AB.

If you want to print it:

Print Address Book:

Open the Address Book and go to: File | Export | Other Address Book. Click
on: Text File (comma separated value). Click: Export | Browse | Select a
folder | Name and Save. Click Next. At this point you can check what
information you want saved. Finish per instructions.

If you want to back up /everything/ in OE including the folders, AB, Message
Rules etc.:

This freeware tool backs up everything in OE in seconds. Disregard what is
written in red. That is referring to a different program.
