Hi Quad777
unfortunately, what you refer to is not in actual fact your address list, it is more like a history (like IE or other browsers) and there is no way to move that across. if you go into your outlook and look at your contacts section, you can export those and import them into your new installation fairly simply, but the historical recipients information cannot be retained.

Regards

if that is the case, then maybe try File>import/export>export to a file>csv (windows)>contacts

Regards

(i have moved loads of PST files including the contacts but it never seems to keep the historical memory as described, if you do figure it out, please let me know!!!)
