Need help recovering corrupted outlook express address book

So my dad's address book won't open. First, outlook express says that the address book isn't installed properly, and then that the address book file is corrupted. It has important business contacts, so its imperative that I save the data.
How can I get into the file? I can open it in notepad and I see a lot of the text, but its mostly names and I can't find any email addresses. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Certainly you can.

  • Help me please with Outlook Express address book recovery

    I reloaded windows and  after restarting I could not find the  Outlook Express address book. I looked in my docs and settings/"name"/localsettings/applicationdata/identities.
    There are a bunch of .DBX files t, but the contacts file is only 59kb. I don't know how to do anything with these files to recover them. 
    Thanks for your help

    Did you happen to check here
    C:\Documents and Settings\%username%\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book\*.wab.
    I found some info here

  • How Do I Import Outlook Express Address Book?

    I have a PC running WXP using Outlook Express as a mail client. And, I have a MAC that I'm trying to get email set up on. I'm trying to get completely off WXP as a home computing environment. Accordingly, I'd like to import the Outlook Express address book from the PC into Address Book on the MAC so I don't have to re-key all those entries. But, I guess I'm not entering the correct magic words, because I haven't been able to find anywhere online exactly how to do this. The Address Book application implies that it can import a csv file, but I can't find out what the format of the CSV file is supposed to be. I exported the OE Address book to a WAB file on my WXP system, and mounted that disk to MAC, and I can see the file, but there doesn't seem to be any way to import it.
    I can create a CSV file fairly easily in Windows if I know the format MAC address Book expects it to be in so I can import it.
    So, I need a clue. I'm surprised to find out how difficult this seems to be, given the general user-friendliness of the Apple environment, and that no one else seems to have had the problem.

    Haven't done this yet but when I was getting my new iMac, we googled it at the Apple store and saw a link to advice on how to do this through Mozilla - apparently you have to transfer it to Mozilla first and then to the Mac. Hope this helps.
    And btw, any other new converts having trouble with their new iMac's freezing up? Here I was all ready to be part of the Apple Army and loved it for the first few days -- only to have it freeze on me so often that I'm ready to bring this lemon back to the store.

  • Transfering Outlook Express Address Book to OS X mail

    Hi Folks,
    Have finally made the leap from OS 9 to OS X.
    That was the easy part.
    Now, how to successfully tranfer my 700+items Outlook Express Address Book into OS X mail? I'm about at my wits end. I've thus far managed to transfer the lot of them into Microsoft 'entourage' X. Whew! I still can't figure out how to transfer them into the OS X email program. I need access to those names/email addresses ASAP. It's vital to my work. Help!
    Thanks much in advance.
    Namaskara,
    David M.

    I'm a newbie, but I think this may work:
    Since Mail uses the addresses stored in Mac's Address Book app, open AB. Go to File/Import and select LDIF as the type of file you wish to import. Locate and click on the OE address book filename in the window that appears. It is most probably located in the Documents folder. Highlight the filename and click Open. The contents of this file will now appear in AB, and will then be accessible from Mail.
    Let us know if it works.

  • Importing Windows Outlook Express address book

    Hello
    I have been trying to import an Outlook Express address book (which is stored on a DVD) to MS Entourage with not much luck
    I can't seem to find an 'option' to import an external address book.
    The only options available seem to be to import Entourage docs/archives etc.
    Can anyone help?

    I've been looking into this myself and there are a number of possibilities. You can't just import an address book but importing all your contacts can be done. Search discussions here for the topic (the Mail and Address Book forum has stuff on getting contacts out of Outlook) and also Google the web, there are several threads elsewhere. There are even shareware utilities to help.
    Also look under Mac 101: Shifting From PC in the Support section here. Apple has a little bit to say on it, although not terribly helpful to me.

  • Outlook Express address book to Entourage

    Changing from a PC to a MacBook Pro - Is there any way I can export my PC Outlook Express address book to my MacBook Pro? I am using Entourage and would like to have my address book exported rather than having to type everything. Is this possible or do I have a lot of typing to do?

    've exported the address books into a variety of file types within the iMac: ldif, html, xls, (comma separated) rtf, txt and and none of those file types will import into either Entourage or Apple Mail on my G4. I've been racking my brain for weeks on this trying to find some conversion software or format to easily get these addresses into my Mail applications without having to tediously enter in each one by one.
    Address Book (note that Address Book is the Apple utility for managing your contacts - Mail makes use of it) should be able to import either comma separated or tab separated text files. For the former the extension must be .csv and for the latter .txt.
    Tab-separated (or delimited if you prefer) is often better, as addresses may have a comma in them.

  • On my home PC, I operate with Windows XP and use Outlook Express for my email.  Can my Outlook Express address book be imported by my IPhone4

    On my home PC, I operate with Windows XP and use Outlet Express for my email.  Can my Outlook Express address list be imported to my IPhone4

    Not directly; OE is not supported by iTunes. You need full Outlook. Address Book in later versions of Windows is supported.

  • Can't Import Outlook Express address book to Pearl 8100

    A friend just gave me an AT&T BB Pearl 8100 and I am using it as a phone only with no data plan (it's a company cell phone but they won't pay for a data plan -- I just put my SIM card in the BB).  I am trying to connect to my personal PC with the USB cable and import my OE address book.  I am using Desktop Manager 4.7, and when I try to synch it a window flashes that says "Synchronization Progress - Processing" for about one second, then that disappears and my phone doesn't get updated. Can someone help me?  I searched for this problem prior to posting but can't find this situation.  I dread having to type them one by one -- any help would be appreciated.  Thank you!

  • Outlook Express Address Book....is this the only one for PCs?

    Directed to any PC experts!
    I have two mail accounts on my iPhone 3G
    1) a gmail account
    2) an outlook express account (pop 3 server)- this is my main email address and i've had it for a long time.
    If i were to delete the outlook express email account (because it appears to be kind of buggy lately) would i lose my windows address book, which is of course, provided by outlook express? This is the address book that syncs to the iPhone. Outlook express is a program, not a free floating internet email like hotmail and such.....so i am thinking that just deleting the email component would not delete the address book which seems to be an integral part of windows.
    Does anyone have any ideas on this?

    The address book used by Outlook Express is a separate application from the OE application.
    Deleting an email account from OE will not touch or affect the address book used by OE.
    You don't need to access an email account with OE to sync your iPhone's address book direct with the address book used by OE via the iTunes sync process.

  • Transfer Outlook Express Address Book & emails from old iMac 333 to iMac G5

    Trying to import my old address book and a collection of emails from Outlook Express 5.0.6 to Mail2.0.2. I've tried everything that Outlook requires and no luck yet. I am reluctant to reload all those names, addresses, etc. into my new iMac G5. Also, I have many emails from my old iMac 333 and need them for my new G5 mail files. Can I read them into Mail 2.0.2 ?
    Thanks for any advice.

    I was having no success at all when I was trying to import mail data from Outlook Express to Mail on the same office G4 Tower where I just upgraded to Tiger, where all the Apple docu says it is possible...
    Then I realised,
    1. When in X, when importing data from OE, Classic has to be booted, my only and originally OS 9 (installed X on another partition) is to "heavily loaded" with a lot of 3rd party extensions etc, it never loaded completely
    Solution: Install another clean and lean copy of OS 9 somewhere else, then designate this as your Classic, and make sure you only have one copy of OE and one set of your Identities etc in the Document folder
    2. The easier way out is if you have Office X or Office 2004, use Entourage to import everything from OE, then use Mail to import from Entourage.
    Cheers
