Default OE Nikname File?

I have a client who uses autocomplete when addressing his emails, but
his address book is empty. I think that there must be a cache file
tracking incoming email addresses and building a list (like the .nk2
file in Outlook), but I can't find it. Does anyone know where this
data is kept so that it can be moved with his OE mail to a new
computer? Thanks.

Thanks, Ronald.

The wab file is empty. In fact the last modification of the file was
in 2004, which is why I thought there must be another file holding the
email addresses. Do you know of any other file the data might reside
in?

In OE, open the Addresses Book, Help, About Address Book.
Is the location shown the same as the empty Address Book?
