I recently bought a new computer and installed MS '07 only to find none of my
sent mail or contacts are available.

What are the steps to retrieve this information?

Thanks

You need to get your .PST file from the old computer. Do you still have
access to it?

Assuming you moved the pst from the old computer - If you have Contacts in
the Contacts folder but they are not accessible when you click on the To
button, check these settings:

Make sure the Contact folder is enabled as an email address book. Right
click the Contacts folder, choose Properties then Outlook Address Book. Is
the box to enable as email address book is checked?

If this is grayed out...

Go to Tools | Email Accounts, choose View or change existing directories or
address book. Is the Outlook Address Book present? If it isn't listed, add
it and close and restart Outlook. If it is listed, then remove it and close
then restart Outlook and repeat these steps to add it.

If you are using Outlook 2007 and the the checkbox is grayed, you'll need to
make a new profile as you can't add the Outlook Address Book service due to
a bug.

No, sure didn't have a chance too since it crashed before I had a chance.

Now what?
