Missing Contacts

[Jay Mitchell]

I've been backing my contacts regularly from Outlook 2000
exporting the address book to Excel:

/File
Import and Export
Export to a File
Microsoft Excel
Contacts (folder)

So when my hard drive crashed and burned a few weeks, I
thought no problem. Fired up my new computer, imported
the Excel file back into Outlook 2000 on the new system
and...

I now have names, addresses, phone numbers, and everything
else for my contacts EXCEPT email addresses. What's up
with this?
QUESTION #1: Do email adresses not get exported when you
output an address book to Excel?

The old drive is toast so I don't think I have a prayer of
recovering this data from the original Outlook file.
QUESTION #2: What is the easiest way to export ALL the
data from the Outlook address book?

1) If the mapping for the export didn't include the email address field
(always check the mapping!), that data wasn't included.
