Slipstick: Thanks for the information. What confuses me is that on my work
computer (Exchange profile), the suggested contacts list appears to have
imported my nk2 cache. Do you know why the "Suggested Contacts" list on my
work computer populated my cached contacts, whereas my home computer
populated none?

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding the suggested contacts folder, so I would
appreciate it if you can help clarify this for me. Also, I'm sure I'll get
lots of questions about this from my clients when we eventually distribute
Outlook 2010 to them, so the information will be helpful.

Thanks!

Does the problem happen on the outlook 2010 Beta version, or RTM version?
The later one has just released recently, please try to use the latest
version, see if the issue still appears

I will research further on the possible cause, and post at here if there's
any new update

From: James Luo on
After further reviewed on the issue, I think I have found the reason why
the NK2 cache doesn't import to "Suggested contacts" folder

"When you start Microsoft Outlook 2010 for the first time, your nickname
cache (stored in the profilename.nk2 file) is imported into a hidden
message in your default message store"
---------Refer to KB 980542

The NK2 file will import all of the entries into the
IPM.Configuration.Autocomplete message (Hidden message) in the Associated
Contents table of the Inbox on the server, but it does not also move them
into the suggested contacts folder
The old entries will pop up when you send an e-mail, any recipient who
isn't already a contact will appear in the suggested contacts folder, but
suggested contacts folder won't be pre-populated with all of the old
entries during the upgrade/NK2 importing

From: Aakash Shah on
Diane: Good point! I just checked both the created and modified fields and
most of the entries correspond to April 22 in the evening. This is around
the time that I performed the Office 2010 installation.

I did not use any previous versions of Office 2010 prior to April 22.

This occurred with the RTM version. I installed it very soon after it was
released to TechNet. I just checked the version number and I am using
v14.0.4760.1000 (64bit). I am using 32bit on one computer and 64bit on
another computer.
