WAB to Outlook Export Process

How to Import WAB to Outlook

WAB is also a file extension of Outlook Express which is used only for OE contacts with relevant information such as name, address, id, username, FAX, phone number, etc. WAB stands as Windows Address Bookthat is available in Address Book Manager of Outlook Express.

I was previously using Outlook Express but before some time, I have purchased a new computer with Windows 8.1 OS configuration. After seeing today’s requirement (most of the organizations or employees or independent users are using Outlook) or wide range of users, I have installed Microsoft Outlook 2010 whereas it uses .pst file extension to save its data including with contacts. I want to save my previous data along with contacts of Outlook Express in Outlook but it is impossible task for me.

How can I import the WAB addresses into my MS Outlook account?

Outlook cannot import .wab files but Outlook Express can export address book into .csv file format which Outlook can import easily. So, if you get the OE contacts in CSV format then you can get it in Outlook. This task is done by a manual way but there is no security to save the all relevant details with contacts.
