I cannot locate where Outlook Express 6 stores the address
book. I want to synchronize my address books between the
4 Mail account that I have and cannot locate them.

I have searched for *wab files and results are 0.

Thanks in advance,
David
 
Address Book Help>About will reveal the location (if sharing contacts with
Outlook is not enabled).

On WindowsXP, the OE user files, including *.wab and *.dbx files, are by
default marked as hidden. To view these files in Explorer, you must enable
Show Hidden Files and Folders under Start | Control Panel | Folder Options |
View.

If all four of your Identities (accounts) are in one Windows Log-on (aka
Profile), all Address Books share a common base. See
