Sorry, I do not have Outlook open. But I cannot get the folders displayed in
the Global Address Book. The checkbox to do so is greyed out for both
Exchange Mailbox Contacts and Public Folder Contacts. I did use Easy
Transfer from XP MCE (Pro) SP2 to Vista Business 32-bit. (Office 2007
Enterprise)

Thanks Russ and Sue. Not the news I wanted to hear. I will re-build it in
the next few days. :(

WET creates corrupt Outlook profiles in which the Outlook Address Book does
not work and cannot be repaired. You must create a new Outlook profile
yourself.

What's the point of even trying to use Window's transfer tools then?
That just seems ridiculous.

I have never trusted any of Windows Transfer Tools for Outlook and would
never use them. You are well advised to do the same.
