Default Transferring AddressBook to Another Computer

Outlook may not have an Address Book, but on my Menu bar, when I place my
cursor over Addresses, the readout is Address Book.

Even so, I do not have any names in my Contacts folder. How do I transfer
contact from one computer to another, considering that I have copied .PST
files from one computer to the other, and nothing show up.

I think I have done what you suggested, but I'mnot sure.

At one computer I copies all my .pst files to a new folder. Then by
way of my home network, I copies those files to my second computer
putting them in the same folder on that computer as they were on the
first. My Address Book (Contacts) were not transferred.


First, never out the PSTs you're copying into the default PST folder so as
to avoid overwriting any PSTs of the same names. Doing so will corrupt
the mail profile.

Second, Outlook has no "address book". The address book is just a view of
your contacts folder shoing those contacts that have resolved electronic
addresses. Your contacts are in the Contacts folder, which is contained
in the PST you copied from the other machine.

How can I get my address book from one computer to the other. I have
don't what you suggested twice with no results.


Your address book service is corrupt. See if this helps:

You may need to create a new mail profile. See this:
