I recently swapped everything from one computer running winxp to another
(winxp also). I moved the address book but only the main folder was
transferred, I am unable to transfer the subfolders. Microsoft suggests
copying all contacts into the main folder and then transferring them but
this is ludicrous. There must be a way to preserve the subfolder setup
yes/no?

Folders neither export nor import. Some find that Groups will export and
import but YMMV.

You can create one or more Standalone Address Book(s) on the other machine
that contain(s) the Folder's/Folders' contacts and then Copy it to the new
machine. Please read about using a Standalone Address Book here:

Sorry, I'm not a texter, what does YMMV stand for?
"Some find that Groups will export and import " is this applicable to me?
I have subfolders under my main identities contacts that I want to move.
I'm quoting from OEHelp "How do I back up my files and settings?" Would this
allow me to transfer my subfolders?
"To backup and restore OE5 and 6 messages, make a copy of all the files in
the folder that contains the dbx files. Do a search for *.wab and back that
up as well (address book). Also export these 4 registry keys:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Identities\{GUID}\Software\Micro soft\Outlook Express
Where GUID represents your Identity number.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Account Manager

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Outlook Express

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\WAB\WAB4\Wab File Name


To restore the messages on a reformatted machine, or to move them to a new
machine, copy all the backed-up files to the exact directory where they were
located in their previous life. Then, before opening OE, import the 4 keys
into the registry. If OE has already been run on the computer to which you
are restoring, then delete those 4 keys from the registry (back it up first)
before importing the 4 saved ones."

According to a Google search, it stands for "Your mileage may vary".
Obviously something to do with the import/export trade or the price of
gas, or am I being obtuse?

Don't know why my previous response went to the middle of the message.
Sorry!

According to a Google search, YMMV stands for "Your mileage may vary".
Obviously something to do with the import/export trade or the price of
gas, or am I being obtuse?

More like not having much imagination. YMMV is a phrase from the US EPA
mileage rating for cars.
There, it means that the mileage you get on your car may not match the
prediction from the EPA tests.
By extension, elsewhere it means "This fix may not work on your computer".

I'm not either. See http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=YMMV

Yes, assuming you'd (1) exported the Address Book on the old machine, (2)
saving it as a WAB file, and then (3) imported the WAB file on the new
machine.

Reading your last reply, I'm not really sure what you did or how you did it,
sorry. (The procedure you cite is not without its pit-falls and can be very
tricky to execute correctly.)

Understand that Address Book Folders and Groups are not the same thing.

Alright, maybe I'm an idiot. I have in my hands (well not right this
second) a floppy with my address book, including subfolders, that I was able
to open up and see everything. I got this by exporting the wab file to a
folder on my desktop and copying it to a floppy. I have to travel to
another town to attempt to install it on it's new home. I think what I did
before was transfer the wab32.dll? Maybe I moved an older version from a
backup? At one point I had the old HD hooked up to the new computer and was
dragging and dropping files and folders. I can't remember cause the whole
process of moving from one computer to another (I started with a blank HD
and installed everything i.e. XP, Office, Quickbooks etc. moved gigabytes of
files, burned several dvds for backup in case I screwed up while trying to
keep my wife from freaking out cause this was all the data for our business)
was very stressful. As far as I can tell, everything works and these
subfolders are the only thing missing. I am leaving now to drive over and
attempt to install them. Thanks for the help, this made me relook at
everything and hopefully get it right the second time. I will post results.

YW & thanks for your feedback. Again, Folders and Groups are NOT the same
thing.

Strike 2-I imported the wab file into OE but nothing changed. I still don't
have subfolders in the address book. I do however have them in a folder on
the desktop so they are at least accessable. Worst case scenario- my wife
has to type them into the address book. I guess I'll keep looking, there
HAS to be a way...doesn't there?
