Does anyone know how to find the file which contains your address book for e-mail?

Getting ready to move info to new computer, and need to back up my favorites (bookmarks) and e-mail address book.

Does anyone know how to find the file which contains your address book for e-mail?
use the migration tool from windows xp. start | accessories | system tools | files and settings transfer wizard.





The address book will be a .wab file. The favourites will be in c:\documents and settings\username\favorites folder





You may have to turn on show hidden files and show protected files.
Reply:Start a search, chose "all files and folders" and type "address", this will give you the path to your address book. You can repeat the search for "favorites".
Reply:Without knowing which e-mail client your using this would be quite a feat. An alternative would be to open your e-mail client, click "File" on the menu bar and look for some sort of "export" sub menu. Most e-mail clients allow you to export your data to a file which you can save on your desktop or where ever you like and then import it after you set up your new computer. The same procedure will also work with your favorites. Good Luck.
