Default addresses in outlook

Hey, I have just migrated from Windows XP to Windows Vista Business and I
have installed Office 2003 with SP3 on it. In Windows XP, whenever I sent or
forwarded mail to somebody, in the To: box by typing just couple of
characters, I used to get the entire email address with it. after migration
to new system and importing my PST file on the new system, This has stopped.
I want that thing to start happening again. Anyone has any clues about it.
Plese help.

Then you should be able to copy the file
%AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\mailprofile.NK2 and put it in the equivalent
folder in Vista, making sure it has the same name as the mail profile there.

By the way, importing a PST is NEVER the correct way to transfer Outlook
data. Just reuse the PST by configuring the mail profile correctly.

Hi Brian,

Thanks for the important input, it worked very well, I copied the file onto
the new machine and it worked. Thanks a lot. just one thing the file name is
not mailprofile.nk2 but outlook.nk2 and has to be pasted in
AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook folder.

Kind regards

That's because your mail profile's name is "Outlook". The NK2 file is named
to match your mail profile's name. That's why I wrote "mailprofile" - so
you'd get the idea that the file's name matches your mail profile's name.
