Auto Suggest email address didn't transfer computers

[iwik]

I just moved my Outlook 2003 email from one computer to another. The new
computer does not remember all the auto suggest names from before, so that
when I start to type an email address, it doesn't suggest anything unless I
have sent that person an email since starting with the new computer. How do I
get it to remember the previous list of addresses, or use the addresses in
the contacts folder? Thanks!

Its a seperate cache file, on the old PC its named; 'username'.nk2
On the current PC locate 'username'.nk2, rename it
Copy the old file to the new, ensure the correct 'username' is used

Sweet. Thank you very much. Do I need the username.srs or username.xml or
link.nk2 files for any reason? Does the email function really not consider
the addresses in contacts for suggestions?

*.srs is I believe send/receive settings
*xml I believe contains various OL shortcuts and other links

The auto complete (nk2 file) contains previously typed names, or people you
have sent mail to, it does not 'take names' from the contacts.
