Default import address book and folders 2003

No. Your address book contains no data. It is only a view of the contacts
that exist in your Contacts Folder. If your address book view contains
outdated references to Contact folders that no longer exist, then remove
those references he
Tools E-mail accounts View or change existing directories or address
books Outlook Address Book Change.

Your folder hierarchy can only be modified in Folder view of Outlook. You
cannot configure anything within the address book view.

Hi Russ,
The address book does contain all my addresses, and I now see what must be
the old folders represented by icons with two faces. Unfortunately all
those
folders are empty. They have the right titles, but no addresses inside.
I
have followed the instructions in the link you sent me to the best of my
ability. Should the actual addresses be inside all those sub-folders?

Also, is there any way to see the old folder structure in a bar to the
left
of the opened address book?

Thanks for your help!

You'll have to tell us. Since the address book view contains no data, you
did not (and cannot) create your folders there. You can only create
folders
in a pst file which you claim to have transferred correctly. Did you? If
you
did, just enable the folders to display in the address book view using
the
directions I posted.

Thanks Russ for the response. I have the old contact list in the new
address
book. The problem is that I want the old folders that took years to
develop.
How can I get those folders?

HI,
I've successfully moved the pst file to a new computer, and all the
contacts
are in the contacts folder, but all my address book folders are
gone.
Do
I
have to recreate all those folders by hand? I've looked for the
answer
in
your online helps, but can't find it.
