You know in windows live mail when you have email correspondence with someone, the address gets added automatically, so that when you compose a new email, you can click on the 'To..' button and it shows all the email addresses. It seems to be when this box is ticked under Options/Send:
'Automatically put people I reply to in my address book after the third reply'

Where is the folder or file located that holds those added emails?

My contacts list in WLM on my desktop pc shows only the people I've emailed. None of them are windows live contacts in messenger or anything like that, just email contacts.

I installed WLM to my laptop and also transferred my complete windows live mail folder from C:\Users\Me\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail on my desktop, to the same location on the laptop. All my emails showed up, but not the automatically added email addresses, the contacts list was empty. I'd like to find where they're stored so I can make them show up on my laptop.
 

Thanks. Not sure yet. Looking at that link, maybe it's Default(Offline) – Mode (a)

I think it might be Windows Live Mail 2011 (QFE3 version) - Windows 7 or Vista
Path –> C:\Users\<windows username>\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows Live\Contacts\default\15.5\DBStore

I've uninstalled WLM on my laptop and am starting over again, and transferring the 15.5 contacts folder. I wonder if that will show up the email addresses.
