I have multiple email accounts in my profile and so creating a new one - which seems to be the only way around it once the transfer program breaks things - is a bit of work. Oh well. ...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.
