The Outlook address book is merely a viewer for the electronic addresses in your contacts folders. It contains no data itself and, therefore, there is no transfer required.

If you are not seeing your contacts in the address book, the fault lies in your mail profile. Either the Outlook Address Book is not part of the profile (check the address book settings in Tools | E-mail Accounts) or the particular contacts folder is not marked to appear in the OAB -- check on the folder's Properties dialog, on the Outlook Address Book tab.

The Outlook Address Book contains no data. It is a view of all contacts
folders that have the "address book" attribute enabled. RIght-click your
Contacts folder, choose Properties, select the "Outlook Address Book" tab
and check the box labeled "Show this folder as an e-mail address book".
