*.pst import...but no contacts

Hi all

Ive imported my pst file to my notebook and all emails have come across, but
my contacts havent...

I was hoping that typing in a name would see it begin to populate......is
this not the case?

Or have I missed something...

thanks

 

You didn't say if it's OE / OL or something else that also uses pst
files.

By magic? If they didn't import.....

well youve guessed what i wanted to achieve
tried google, not that noob
but still a top poster
so shoot me
!

 

Not-a-noob would know that Outhouse Distress address book files are
*.wab files. Right?

Ok. You deserve it!

 

bang

 

If you have an origonal copy of the pst (Not one created by export) place
this in your Documents folder (Notebook) then within outlook open this pst
The Outlook Export/Import process is flawed and can lose data, corrupt a
profile, and will lose settings

 

Sounds to me like you were not using contacts at all but in fact the
autocomplete feature in Outlook. This data is not stored in the pst.

See here for details of how to move your autocomplete file.

Then store your contacts in the contacts folder.
