Can a .wab from one XP account be imported to another XP account? Can
one just copy and paste it from one to the other or does one have to use
the import feature in OE?

I have 4 accounts. One is my primary account that gets new addresses often.
When I want to add them to the other 3 accounts I export the primary AB to
My Documents (where I keep a copy all the time) and from each of the other
accounts, File | Import | Address Book (wab) and point to the copy in My
Documents. It goes rather fast.

Copy/paste of the contacts can work but for most reliable results, importing
is the recommended procedure. For more info about the Windows Address Book,
see this link: http://www.insideoe.com/files/wab.htm
