Contact List not populating in Address Book
 
I have Outlook 2003, and I imported my contact list from a PST file created
on another computer. If I click on "Contacts" in the navigation pane, all of
my contacts are there, but when I type an e-mail and go to just type a name
or the beginning of an e-mail address in the "TO" area, it never pulls up any
of the names or addresses in my "Contacts" area. My address book is empty if
I open it, even though it says it's pulling names from "Contacts". I'm not
sure what's going on. Can anybody help me make my contacts accessible?

This is why you're having trouble. Never export to or import from a PST.
There simply is no need and is causes unwanted side-effects.

Are the mail addresses in the imported contacts resolved (underlined)?
