Yes gave it a unique name.

migrated data using mail setup in control panel, account settings, data
files by browsing to the folder containing my outlook.pst (size 1,6 GB)
file
and then restarted outlook.

I have also tried creating the data file from scratch in a new profile
from
my exchange server but same results.

I,m not allowed to select the folder, it is allready ticked off and greyed
out in both above cases.

Book

to
select it as an electronic address book?

Hi

I have created a new profile twice and still my contacts are not
found
when
creating a new e-mail. I find them if I use the advanced search but
thats
tedius. Any suggestions.

would
be
no
need to remove it unless it wasn't working, in which case you must
create
a
new profile to restore it.

I wish I could see some repros on this. Without them, I'm afraid an update
will likely be addressing the problem.
