Quickfill of TO: names not working

In Outlook 2003, when typing in the TO: box, outlook would help by offering a list of matching names/emails in a drop down list. I believe this was based on received emails, and not just on contacts.

This feature stopped working.
Is there a way to get this working again?
If the names of received and sent emails are not in the contacts list, is there a way to store them there? I would assume the contacts list is a more stable and secure location to store these names long term.

We can't find any nk2 files on the computer.

So first, it seems that the original file was lost or destroyed somehow. I would assume that without a backup there is nothing further to talk about.

Second, I would have expected outlook to recreate a file by now, but that does not seem to have happened. Any ideas why?
WEBuilder,

To find nickname file, be sure to unhide hidden files and folders.

Nk2 will only be recreate is you send an email and type in an address not from Address Book.
