I recently exported and imported my contact from one computer to another. If
I up the contacts subfolder I can see the contacts that I imported, however,
when I go to send or forward an email and hit the "To" there are no entries
listed in my contacts. HELP!!!

You've just discovered one of the reasons that import/export of native
Outlook data is NOT recommended. The correct procedure would have been to
copy the pst file from one computer to another, open Outlook on the
destination machine, and use File-Open-Outlook Data File and open the copied
pst file. Then you copy (or drag and drop) the contacts from the old file to
the new. Do you still have access to the old machine? If so try that method.
