Outlook Contacts Missing Notes After Export-Import
"CatBlue" wrote in message

Oops, it appears that I spoke/wrote too soon. I see that he now has two
Personal Folders and one of them opens up to ALL of my information:
folders,
email, everything. YIKES. He really will not tolerate that. So obviously I
am
missing a crucial step; some way to download the .pst file successfully
into
Contacts, but then to delete all the duplicate files and my personal
email/info from his machine. What's a girl to do? As always, your advice
is
most welcome.
Regards,
Cat

I saved my Outlook.pst file and went over the my manager's computer full
of
trepidation, shaky hands and all. I opened Outlook, then Contacts, and
finally opened the Outlooks.pst file while I was in the Contacts view.
Voila!!! All my Contacts and Notes appeared, WHEW. That would have been
hours
of work done the drain.
Thankfully, the Inbox and all his email was untouched. However, there is
one
wee problem. He now has two Contacts folders (one named Contacts and a
new
one, Contacts in Personal folders) and two Calendars as well (Calendars
and
Calendars in Personal folders). This is going to make him go MENTAL, he
is so
particular about his Outlook Calendar.
I checked all the links Russ supplied regarding moving .PST files in
outlook
(for instance:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ou...08921033.aspx). This
particular link discusses removing the duplicate files as eaily as
right-clicking and then choosing to Close Personal Folders. Alas, that
option
did not appear for me. It says further if one cannot close the folder
ther
the "default delivery location is still pointing to the wrong file."
Que?
I am so close to finally getting this right, so please chime in if you
know
how to get rid of the duplicate files.
Much thanks,
Cat
