In Outlook 2007 when creating a new message I am able to type a letter or name in the "To:" field and have suggestions auto-complete. However, in the CONTACTS tab of Outlook 2007 there are no contacts listed at all. I am needing to EXPORT my contacts list (all the names and email addresses that show in the auto-complete "to:" field) to a new laptop and I'm switching to Thunderbird (Outlook 2013 is a mess to look at).
Where are these contacts stored that are auto-completed?
I have researched only to find answers of people having the reverse problem (contacts are in the CONTACTS tab but not showing up in the auto-complete).
I have also exported the .PST file and imported on another laptop with Outlook 2003, and no contacts are imported and the "to:" field does not have an auto-complete.

FYI: The To: field auto-fill and the Contacts are completely separate things that don't depend on each-other. Relative to this, the To auto-fill entries are not exported with a PST file. – Ƭᴇcʜιᴇ007 – 2014-03-16T23:49:05.943
@techie007 - that is the nature of my question...to find out what the difference is and where to find it and utilize it. And I did not come across that similar post you linked to, but thank you for that. – codeview – 2014-03-17T05:31:42.717
