Default How to convert 2003 personal folder contacts to Outlook 2007

I recently got a new computer with Windows Vista that had Outlook 2007. When
all my stuff was copied from my old computer to my new one everything come
across okay, however the contacts I had set up in personal folders (for
organizational purposes) in Outlook 2003 did transfer over but I can not
easily send emails from those folders. Is there an easy way to get them into
my address book.

I don't know the answer since I wasn't the one who migrated the stuff.

But I think I stumbled onto the answer.
Right click on the personal contacts folder
Go to properties
Click on Outlook Address Book
Check the box "Show this folder an an e-mail Address Book"

I have done this with all my personal folder contacts although it took a
little bit of time since I had more than 20 folders ...seems to be working.
