Wondering if anyone knows of a way to export a .wab address book to Exchange
Server 2003 for a particular user? We recently upgraded to Exchange 2003 and
are now using the Outlook Web Access as our primary email client tool.

The trouble is I cannot seem to find a way to export .wab file contacts back
to the exchange 2003 server. I tried using Outlook 2002 to connect to the
exchange server using the IMAP protocol (the way I export old email back to
the server) and transfer contacts that way but I get an error saying, "IMAP
protocol cannot support Outlook special folders such as the Contacts,
Calendar, Journal, or Notes folders. Only email folders may be created in an
IMAP store"

Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
 
WAB files can only be accessed by Outlook Express. Are you sure you mean a
WAB file?
 
Yes I was wondering if there was anyway to import the .wab file into the
Outlook Web Access Contacts folder so client using only Outlook Web Access
can access their old contacts?

Well OWA is not Outlook so you'd need to ask about it in an Exchange group.
But Outlook certainly has no way to access WAB files directly. They can only
be imported from OE.
