Why would you want to? If you can access OWA then you have access to the
Exchange server when connected to the domain....
 
Thank you for your reply. I have my web access email through my work which i
am leaving soon.

First, any data in your company's mail system belongs to your company, not
you. Taking those contacts home with you may be stealing company data and
they might be able to prosecute you for it if they find out. Ask the
company legal department or get WRITTEN permission from your manager before
you do that.

There is no way to export anything from Outlook Web Access. Instead, if you
connect to the Exchange server using a PC that contains the Outlook client,
you can then create a PST and copy the data from the mailbox to the PST and
take the PST home with you on a CD or a flash drive.
 
Thank you for the ethics lecture Sir. In fact the contacts I am talking about
are my personal contacts not the company ones. So I am set there. And at to
that I am on the ethics committee in my place.
 
Can you tell me how to import the addesses in my group boxes. I
successfully imported my address book from my old computer to the newly
purchased one, except the addresses in my 2 group mailboxes did not import.
Is there something different I need to do or do I have to enter each one
again in the group mailbox? Thanks

That's one of the results of importing a pst file rather than opening it.
Do you still have access to the old pst file? If so, delete ALL your
contacts in the new one, then on the new computer, in Outlook, do
File-Open-Outlook Data file. then COPY all the contacts from the old file to
the new.
Using the import/export function to transfer data from one Outlook
installation to another is neither recommended, nor necessary.

I wasn't accusing you of being unethical. I was warning you in case you
weren't aware of the issue. How am I supposed to know you on the ethics
committee? I'm not clairvoyant.

You first: tell us what you mean by "group boxes". Tell us your Outlook
version. Tell us your account type. Tell us why you think importing is the
proper way to move Outlook data from an old machine to a new one. (Hint:
it's not.)
