 Outlook 98 Address Book and Personal Address Book

I just installed Outlook 98 from CD.  I previously had Windows Messaging
installed.  Now when I look at my address books I have both a Personal Address
Book, which I assume is the same book that came from Windows Messaging, and and
Outlook Address Book, which is empty.  Can I import my Personal Address Book
into the Outlook address Book and get rid of the Personal Address Book?  Are
there any disadvantages to doing this?

Why would I import them into my Contacts folder?  Most of the names in the
address book I have only an email address but no personal information.  My
question was, can I replace the Personal Address Book with the Outlook address
Book and are there any disadvantages to doing that?

The Outlook Address Book is only a virtual address book created by showing
e-mail addresses from the Contact folder...

Kevin,

        Keep your PAB.  Using Contacts for Personal Distribution Lists
is cumbersome.
