Old computer - Win2K SP4 - Outlook 2003 using .OST file with Exhange Server
2003
New computer - WinXp Pro SP2 - Outlook 2003 using .OST file w/ same server

After setting up the new computer, everything works wonderfully EXCEPT when
I compose e-mails, it doesn't auto-fill the e-mail address (To anymore like
it used to on the old computer. There are e-mail addresses that I need that,
unfortunately, aren't in my contact list, but have always auto-filled before.
I still have the old computer. Is there a file I can transfer that will
re-populate the auto-fill feature?

Was this ever resolved? I am also having this problem and Microsoft support
has not been helpful

it's in the *.NK2 on the old computer.
See http://www.slipstick.com/problems/nicknamecache.asp - you'll want to get
one of the utilities to extract the addresses and add them to your Contacts.
