There is never any reason to import data that is already in Outlook's native
format.
Your problem, however, is that you have not configured your Outlook Address
Book correctly. How that configuration became corrupted is not clear. You
posted no information that would permit us to identify what else you did
wrong.
Just reconfigure your Outlook Address Book. If you don't know how, then post
your Outlook version so someone can tell you.

I have imported into the Personal Folders the contact list -
\....microsoft\outlook\outlook.pst. the folder is there with the contacts
but
I can't see it in the address book.When I click on the address book, I
get:
"the address list could not be displayed. The contacts folder associated
with
this address list could not be opened. For info. on how to remove from the
outlook address book, see Outlook help.

Having done that, I am still confused and I can't find the contacts in the
address book which is currently empty.

Any help would be greatly be appreciated. Thanks.
Norm.
