migrating outlook contact categories
Hi, and thanks!
I have a client for whom I have moved (export/import) outlook contacts from an old XP with Office Outlook 2003 to a new Windows 7 with Office Outlook 2010. The categories present on the old Outlook did not seem to transfer to the new 2010 Outlook, even though the contacts themselves moved. The account is a POP3 account.
If I instead replace the current (new) PST file with the old one that originally contains the contacts, will the categories be intact in Office Outlook 2010?
Thanks!

Thanks for this. It's not clear to me the example explains the email or contact categories.
I'm not sure if you're referring to the categories which you can assign to an email, or categories which you can assign to a contact. I need to re-establish the categories that were assigned to the contacts.
Thanks for your response

Your Master List is your Master list for all your Objects.
They should be there.
If you open an e-mail or Contact you do not see the master list?

Hi yo_bee
After clarifying (again) with my client, I replaced her IMAP account with a POP account, which will allow her a more consistent experience on her PC.
Thanks for all you help. Appreciated.

Example:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software \ Microsoft \ Office\11.0 \ Outlook \ Categories
In 2007 & 2010 they are stored in a pst-file.
Here is a link that will help you as long as all the e-mails in 2007 are the ones from the server when the user was using 2003
