My Outlook Express address book has numerous folders. When I make a .pab or
try other import/export methods, only the top folder transfers to Outlook. I
had no problems transferring mail and settings.

Outlook can only import the top level folder.
You should never create a PAB. They haven't been used for years and are no
longer supported.

Thanks for the reply. Is there a backhanded way to get my entire OE address
book copied into Outlook? Or, is my only time saving option to just move all
to the top folder and then re-group them in Outlook?
