Wendy,
You could succeed, exporting your Netscape
Messenger address book as ldif-file, next importing this file in Outlook
Express. Only you will have to correct some special characters, e.g.
<é>.
By the way, the *.ldif file format takes up much
less kB than the *.wab format.
Good luck

Subject: Address files
I wonder if anyone out there can advise me about
transferring address books from Netscape Messenger to Outlook Express? I have
used Netscape for years (so I have a large address book) but I decided to go
with the tide and use Outlook when I bought a new machine recently. Outlook
Express 5 supplied by my office equipment vendor claims that it can
import Netscape Address Books but it will not import the file pab.na2
that Netsacpe Communicator 4.7 made on my other machine. It says "error
importing address book". I think that it might want a file of extension .nab
not na2. Has anyone ever tried to do this?
Wendy
PS I much prefer Netscape
Messenger!
