Exporting addresses on Outlook Express Windows XP

Outlook Express under Windows XP has 2 identities. Each identity has separate e-mail contacts and when I am on one identity in OE I cannot see the e-mail contacts for the other identity.

 

Now when I try to export the contacts I get all the addresses mixed together from both identities. I would like to export just the addresses from one identity and not the other.

 

Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Supposedly you oog into the Identitiy and then export the address book, it should only export that Identites address book

     

    Export the Address Book to a File

    • Note: This step is very important when multiple Identities are in use A WAB (Windows Address Book) file is used by Outlook Express 5x and 6.0 versions, even if multiple Identities are used. The individual data for each Identity is stored in a folder, by user name, within the WAB file in use
    • Exporting this data, while logged in to a specific Identity, is the only means of segregating the Address Book data. If the WAB file becomes dissociated from the user Identities, the data can only be exported in total - not folder by folder

    OK thanks mombodog.

     

    I guess the WAB file has been disassociated from the user identities since all addresses do get exported even when I am logged in under one specific identity.

     

    Back to the drawing board.
