Hi,

I have just rebuilt my laptop and am running XP Pro and Office 2003.

I use outlook 2003 as my default mail client using pop3 from a providor.

I just have an issue with the recovery of my address book and current e-mails etc.

I will try and explain.

I copied the original file from docs&setting\user_name\application data\.....Outlook

The file name here is Outlook.

I also have a backup file (a PST) which I copied as part of the rebuild.

When I installed Outlook I just pasted the Outlook data file back in the location and opened this via Explorer by just double clicking.

This opened the file fine and I could see all the mails, all the tasks, calender etc. All of these appear to be working fine.

When I went to compose a mail I could not see the or find the contacts address book. When I go into contacts and search it will not find contacts I know are there and cannot see.

I saved the current outlook to a new backup PST file and then imported this but it did not work and know if I import from my old one (over 1gb) there will be millions of duplicate messages as this happened last time.

What can I do? Is there a way I can clear all the details down as per a new install and then start again with some way of getting all my contacts, mails etc into Outlook with no issues.

Please help!

Many thanks

Darren
