Default Outlook2003: where is the email account info stored for the p


Hi Sam,

Do you know how to add the autocomplete information from an old machine
running Outlook Expres to a new machine running Outlook 2003? I did all the
export guides, installed 2003 on the old machine and exported Personal
Fodlers and imported it on the new machine. The old machines Outlook 2003
folders does not contain an nk2 with autocomplete information thou.

Is ther another way to go about this or is the autocomplete infor forever
lost in the switch to 2003 from Express?

Thanks!

Autocomplete entries are stored in the .nk2 file with the same name as the mail profile. Did that file copy over?

If you are not seeing items in the Outlook Address Book, make sure that address book is in the mail profile and also right-click the Contacts folder and check the Outloolk Address Book box on the folder's Properties dialog.

Hi, I thought i had it all working .. but looks like my contacts are there i
can see them but somehow the autocomplete does not work when i type in the
email addresses (which alread exist in my contacts) in the To: line ..
neither do the address book icon show me anything -- as if there is not
contact / address book ..
however i can click on the contacts tab on the left bottom and I see they
are all there

any hints ?
thnx in advance ..

It's stored in the Windows registry. The Save My Settings Wizard that comes
with Office is a good tool for transfering mail profile settings and other
Office settings from one Windows profile to another.

a way i can copy it over ??

Will appreciate a quick reply ..
