Outlook provides a feature called Suggest Name, when you type the name of the person in the To/CC/BCC field. However, when you migrate to a new PC, you find that all the lists are not there. This can be very tedious especially you need to email to that person, but you can’t recall the email address, and worst of all, you didn’t save it in your contacts.

So, how do you migrate the Suggest Name from old PC to the new PC? Here’s how:

1. At the old PC, quit Outlook, navigate to C:\Users\Your_Alias\Appdata \Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\     (Note that the Appdata is a hidden folder. To view hidden folder, open Explorer -> Organize -> Folder And Search Option -> View -> Hidden Files And Folders -> Show Hidden Files And Folders)

2. Copy the file Outlook.NK2.

3. At the new PC, quit Outlook, navigate to C:\Users\Your_Alias\Appdata \Roaming\Microsoft\Outlook\ and replace the Outlook.NK2.

You will find that the Suggest Name will now appear on the new PC.
