I have exported contacts into a .pst file, and transferred this to a new
desktop.  Imported the pst file into outlook 2002 on new desk top
But when writing e-mails, no contacts show in the contacts folder(although
they are there when i click on the contacts folder).  also when right
clicking on contacts folder and clicking on "write new message" i get the
message:
Error creating new mail!!  this may be caused by an incorrect e-mail address
for a contact or an invalid name for a distribution list.
I can remedy the defeft by going into the contact card and re-writing the
e-mail address, but as i have around many contacts, i'm averse to doing this.

I have also checked that the contacts folder is checked to use as an address
book
any advice please?
