On new Dell Inspiron 17R laptop with Windows 7  and MS Live mail installed, I am importing files from an old PC running Outlook Express 6 on Win XP.
I have successfully copied the old e-mail files (*.dbx) but cannot find how to import  the Address Book (.wab file) into the Contacts file. Information I find on the web and on Microsoft refers to  "Tools" tab or option which seems to  have disappeared in the latest version.

Please  explain.

I was successful in copying the .wab file in Outlook Express so I could import into Windows Live address book. However, when I open Windows live and go to the bottom left corner, the address book option does not open or contain any choices for action such as "import".  What is my problem ?

 

Thsnk you for any help you cvasn give me.

Just bought a new computer after a storm compromised my old computer.  I had Outlook Express before, and had my e-mail transferred to the new Live Mail account.  I have followed the instructions I got from my ISP several times, and I believe I have all settings right, but I keep getting pop ups that say the Pop3 server is not responding, or error messages--usually 550, that SMTP is not working for outgoing mail.

I tried to do a live mail chat with an ISP rep., and he referred me to the written instruction link that I'd already been using.  It's been a week now, everything else is working, and I'm getting my e-mail by going on the internet, but Live Mail would be easier, and offers more options.

Outlook Express  told me in which category or group each contact was listed so I could easily find and delete them when they asked to unsubscribe.  I cannot find this information anywhere in my contact information.  Is there anywhere or any way I can easily see in which category a contact is listed in Windows Live Mail?

I am able to receive emails but unable to reply - error 4104 recurring.  Have checked on line but not too savvy when it comes to technical stuff.

Tried to add account but not sure which server to use POP3 or IMAP (IMPA on account name)

What do I put down for ingoing & outgoing servers?

:(

Email works through hotmail!!!
