Default import contacts from a *.wab file

I upgraded to Windows 7 and saved my contacts in a *.WAB file. Is there a
way to install these in Outlook?
Thanks

Outlook does not use a WAB file and never has. There is no way you saved
Outlook Contacts as a WAB file. Figure out which program you were actually
using and ask in in a Windows 7 group whether that program is supported in
Windows 7.

Are you talking about Outlook or Outlook Express. *.wab file extensions are mainly
used by Outlook Express and it signifies the Address Book that OE uses

I knew you knew better. Importing from a WAB file is a perfectly reasonable
request and would be a useful feature. That's why it doesn't exist.

Probably a WAB - Win7 doesn't include a mail/news reader so he can't
reconnect the WAB in Win7.
I don't know if address magic or other app at
http://www.slipstick.com/config/convaddr.htm might be able to import the
disconnected wab into outlook.

I thought you could download Windows Mail for free in Windows 7. No?
