I need to know..........

I need some advice:

I need to get access/copy an e-mail address book on another persons computer.

is there any way that I can either

1. email the contents to my own computer.
2. write a copy to disc.

a point to bear in mind is that I will only have a couple of minutes in which to get the info required - about the length of time that it takes to make me a cup of tea.

Im not doing it for any illegal purpose or anything like that - its my mothers computer and i need the info for her benefit.

Do a search for MBX files on the PC and copy over all of them to your machine.

File/Export/Address Book -> Text File (Comma Seperated values) & save the file on a floppy or email it to yourself..

then on your PC..

File/Import/Other Address Book -> Text File (Comma Seperated values)

hope this helps...
