Default Re: transfer contacts from OL 2003 to OE 6.0

Tnx a lot PA Bear!
OK I found hidden files my wab file.
But the problem with the export-import persists.
The OE Address Book has 4 fields (Name, email, Bus Phone, Home Phone). I
tailored the csv file that I exported from OL mapping only these 4 fields,
but the import to OE gave the same problem: all 4 fields together (as text
separated by "")are going to one and only field of the OE address book.
What I only managed to do is to import a csv file which has only one field,
that of email address. This way I get an address book with only email
addresses.
This is already something for using my OE without copy-paste email addresses!
Many thanks once more!
