If you use OE v6 try the following...


In OE (v6) click FILE | EXPORT | ADDRESS BOOK...

Select the Text File (Comma Separated Values)

Click on EXPORT

in the Save exported files as: give the file a name like A:\ADDRBOOK.CSV

Click NEXT

Select all the fields you wish to export (You can select the whole lot)

Click FINISH

Click on OK when success message appears

Click CLOSE (the address book export tool window)

DONE!
Note a CSV formatted file can be imported into most (maybe not all) other email adress books.

For version 4/5 of OE see
support.microsoft.com

For backing up OE data see
support.microsoft.com

Hope this helps...

Cheers, babe.
