If you’ve been using Outlook Express as your primary email client, you might have accumulated a substantial address book over time. Whether you’re switching to a new email client or simply want to have a backup of your contacts, exporting your Outlook Express address book can be a wise move. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of exporting your Outlook Express address book.

Step 1: Launch Outlook Express and Open the Address Book

Begin by launching Outlook Express on your computer. Once it’s open, go to the “File” menu and click on “Address Book” to open your address book.

Step 2: Select the Contacts to Export

In the Address Book window, you’ll see a list of all your contacts. To select multiple contacts, hold down the Ctrl key while clicking on each contact. If you want to select all contacts, press Ctrl+A.

Step 3: Click on “File” and Select “Export”

With your desired contacts selected, click on the “File” menu at the top of the Address Book window. In the dropdown menu, select the “Export” option.

Step 4: Choose the Export Location and Format

A new window titled “Export” will appear. Here, you’ll have various options to choose from. First, select the location where you want to save the exported address book file. You can choose any folder or directory on your computer.

Next, decide on the format you want to export your address book as. Outlook Express offers several options, including Text File (comma-separated values), Business Card (vCard), and LDAP Data Interchange Format.

For compatibility purposes, we recommend choosing the Text File format as it can be easily imported into most email clients.

Step 5: Customize Export Options and Finalize the Export

After selecting the export location and format, you can further customize the export options. For example, you can choose to export only selected fields or include all fields associated with each contact.

Once you’ve made the necessary selections, click on the “Finish” button to start the export process.

Step 6: Verify the Exported Address Book

After the export process is complete, navigate to the location where you saved the exported address book file. Verify that the file has been successfully created and contains all the desired contacts. You can open the file using a text editor to double-check its content.

At this point, you’ve successfully exported your Outlook Express address book! Be sure to keep a backup of this file in a safe location for future reference or in case you need to import it into another email client.

We hope this step-by-step guide has been helpful to you. Exporting your Outlook Express address book ensures that you have a copy of your valuable contacts, providing peace of mind and a smooth transition to a new email client if needed.
