Outlook 2010 took the old *.nk2 files and stuffed them into a cache which is a hidden mailbox message. That all sounded good to me, the nk2 files were a pain, I looked forward to a slick management interface in EMC or at least the EMS.  None was to be found, but there is a way, albeit slow processing the whole process takes a few minutes on a slow computer.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Thankfully there is a tool to navigate through the smog of this new cache. <\/p>\n

<\/a> <\/p>\n

To save a auto-complete or nickname list in Outlook 2010<\/p>\n

Download MFCMAPI from http:\/\/mfcmapi.codeplex.com<\/a>. If you run 64 bit Outlook, click the downloads tab, then locate the newest 64 bit release.<\/p>\n

First Close Outlook or OWA (Outlook Web Access) from anywhere that is logged in as the current user.<\/p>\n

Run the single enclosed exe mfcmapi.exe, it will take a moment to come awake.<\/p>\n

\"image\"\"image\"<\/a>One the Session<\/strong> menu, click Logon. <\/strong>No credentials will be needed but it might ask your profile, typically there is only one, if you have more than one, select yours then click OK<\/strong>. If  Outlook is open, and error will display.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On the left side pane double click the Display Name<\/strong> of the account you wish to manage. A firewall window may appear, clicking OK with the default settings on it is fine.A new window will appear\"image\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Open <\/p>\n

Root<\/strong><\/p>\n

IPM_SubTree<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Right Click the InBox<\/strong> folder and then Click Open Associated Content Table <\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong> <\/p>\n

<\/strong> <\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/p>\n

Click on the Subject Column to sort by the Subject,<\/p>\n

Then Scroll down to IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Right click it, and Select Export Message<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Change the Format to MSG file (UNICODE)\"image\"<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Click OK<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong> <\/p>\n

The Save As <\/strong>Dialog will appear with a default file name, change that to something descriptive with a .MSG extension, and the export process is complete.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The import process is much the same.  Navigate to the same place, if there is a IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete<\/strong> you should probably delete it, or risk duplicate entries.  On a new user, there won’t be one.<\/p>\n

\"image\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Select Folder-> Import -> From MSG <\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A file open window will appear.  Locate the file you saved in the above step select it and the autocomplete list will import<\/p>\n
