File extension wab is associated with Microsoft Windows Address Book. Windows Address Book is a component of Microsoft Windows that lets users keep a single list of contacts that can be shared by multiple programs.
It is most commonly used by Outlook Express. It was introduced with Internet Explorer 3 in 1996 and improved in subsequent versions.
The Windows Address Book API can query LDAP servers or read/write data to a local .wab file. In Windows Vista, Windows Address Book was replaced with Windows Contacts.
The wab files are very similar to pab.
Usually *.wab files are imported to email clients and other personal data managers.
Some programs may offer an export function for contacts so they can be saved in a separate exchange format like ICS or VCF.
