My client has nothing in Outlook's contacts.
When he needs to send e-mail he just starts typing and then select from
scroll-down menu.
Now I have to migrate his settings to another computer, but have to migrate
the list of e-mails also.
Is there any way to pull out these e-mails?

Thank you.
 
You can save the autocompletion cache then copy it to the new installation.
It's the file %AppData%\Microsoft\Outlook\yourprofile.NK2, where
"yourprofile" is, of course, your mail profile name. To move it to another
Outlook instance, copy it with Outlook closed and place it in the same
folder on the destination machine, remove it's read-only attribute if you
copied it by CD/DVD, and rename it to match the mail profile on that
machine. Outlook must be closed there, too. If you already have one on
that machine, be sure to rename it out of the way first. When you restart
Outlook, the NK2 file you transported should be the one Outlook uses.
 
Thanks - that's exactly what I need.
