Did you creare a new folder named "My addresses"? Your contacts should be
in the "Contacts" folder, although there's nothing wrong with having more
than one contacts folder.

I have to select it in the dialogue box each time.

Which dialogue? In Address Book? Click ToolsOptions in Address Book and
select the order in which you want Outlook to search your Contacts folders.

Also the fill does not work when entering an addressee.

The autocompletion feature does not use any of your contacts folders. It
remembers the addresses you've used. So, if yo didn't keep the file that
contains the autocompletion data from before, then you'll have to wait while
it builds up again.
