Outlook Express6 - cached addresses
Mon, 01/26/2009 - 14:33 — danno007
I am currently setting up a Vista home edition laptop having previously used an XP desktop.
I need to save/export the cached email addresses within Outlook Express6 (the user's contacts folder is empty).
Can anyone advise on where exactly these cached addresses are saved?
cheers

found this:
The names in the Auto-Complete list are saved in the nickname cache. The file name extension is .NK2. Normally, each Outlook profile has a *.nk2 file. The name of the *.nk2 file is the Outlook profile name.
Follow the steps below to replace the *.nk2 file to see if it works.
=================
1. On the old system, find the file Outlook.nk2 (if the original Outlook profile name is "Outlook").
2. Copy the file to the new system. Don't start Outlook in the new system.
3. Go to the folder C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook
4. Copy/paste the file Outlook.nk2 to the above folder. If there is an existing file named outlook.nk2, replace it.
5. Open Outlook and test the issue. Is the original auto-complete list working?
hope this helps....
