Can anyone explain how to export the address book from a Ricoh and import it into a Canon?

When you access the Microsoft Windows Address Book from within either
Outlook or Microsoft Outlook Express, the Import and Export menu items are
unavailable.
1 Close all programs.
2. Click Start, click Run, type wab in the Open box, and then click
OK.
3. On the Tools menu in the address book, click Options.
4. Click Do not share contact information among Microsoft Outlook and
other applications, and then click OK.
5. Close the address book.

And here is a forum where u can find some info http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/other/other-aa/address-book/675-i-want-to-repair-address-book-wab-file-can-u-help-me

Try:
The Recovery ToolBox for Address Book tool makes it possible to recover contact information from the Windows Address Book where data used by the mail clients Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express (*.wab files) is stored.

Being the canon will import a .cvs file you need to export the windows contacts folder into a .cvs file and then import it into the canon.

To Export the windows contact file to .cvs file (from Microsoft webpage)
To export contacts so they can be viewed by someone using another program
You can convert all your contacts at once to the format you choose so that someone using another program or a previous version of Windows can open and view them.

1. Open Windows Contacts by clicking the Start button , clicking All Programs, and then clicking Windows Contacts.
   
2. On the toolbar, click Export, and then click one of the following formats:
   
   • CSV (Comma Separated Values). This is a generic file format used for exporting or importing information to and from databases or spreadsheets.
     
   • vCard (folder of .vcf files). This format is used by many other programs. It is typically the best format to use when sharing contacts with someone who is using an earlier version of Windows or who is using a different operating system.
     
3. Click Export, select a folder where you want to store your contacts in the new format, and then click OK.
   
4. When a message appears telling you that the contacts export process has completed, click OK, and then click Close.
   

To import the .cvs file into the Canon 4350
open a document and select the Canon 4350 fax driver as the printer
Select the Edit Address Book TAB
Select Import TAB
Browse to where you stored the exported .cvs contacts file
Click on the .cvs file to be imported
Click open
It will process and the address book will them be populated withthe data from the windows contact folder.

Take both programs and export the address book to CVS (Comma Value Separated), then open excel both files and rearrange the columns as needed.

your accounts: IAF file extention.

your address book: CSV file extention.

your mail folders: DBX file extention

search your external hard drive for these extentions . then from outlook express import them . if they were exported , you should see them

have you done this at the machine control panel or by browsing to the web interface? You may be able to do it there. If not you are SOL.
