Outlook not auto suggesting names in TO, CC, BCC

I am using Office Professional 2003. I switched my contacts from one computer
to a new one. When I went to type a new message, in the TO, CC and BCC they
wouldnt auto suggest what email address I wanted in it. I went to Tools,
Options, Email Options, Advanced Email Options. Automatic Name Checking and
Suggest Name While Completing TO, CC, BCC Fields were checked. I know my
contacts were imported, so what else can I do to fix this?

Your contacts folder has nothing to do with the suggest names feature cache. That cache is populated as you send messages to your contacts or other contacts. As you send mail on the new machine, that cache will be built.

So, to "fix" this I will have to use my address book until it completes this
cache?
