imported address book couldn't see sub-folder
 

Hello,

I am using Windows XP Pro (Chinese edition). I was not able to see my
sub-folders (and their respective addresses) after I imported an address
book from my previous address book created in Windows MCE. It seems the
WAB.exe is unable to read the folder "Main Identity's Contacts" and only
display "¥D*nÃѧO¨*¤À ªº³sµ¸¤H" with nothing inside. However under the
folder "¦@¥Îªº³sµ¸¤H" ( equivalent of "Shared Contacts"), it groups all my
addresses of my sub-folders into a single folder. I also tried to copy the
whole address file to the default directory but the problem remained.

When I used the explorer to double click the address file (myname.wab) it
could see the subfolders under "Main Identity's Contacts" with all the
addresses insider. Any idea how to get those addresses out under OE?

Thanks
Surfer

create a new Address Book
wab /new

You will be prompted for a name and folder location for the new WAB file.

Ok, now open it and the old one (douible click on it).

CTRL A to select all items in the address book you want to copy.
CTRL C to copy them.

Now, bring the new Address Book forward and CTRL P to paste them in...

You can then import the new address book in.

Hope I understood you correctly. Also of note, for groups and folder, WAB
won't import or export those.

Thank. Do I need to create each folder in the new add book and copy them one
by one?
