if you have used imap, your contacts are probably all online, just resync your account and it work fine enough.

Hello Listers:

?

Last month, I discovered that laptops do not survive when a pint of beer is spilled onto their keyboard. Having replaced the laptop and extracted the hard drive from the broken computer and placing it into a USB reader, I am able to read the hard drive¡¯s contents.

I want to migrate the contacts from the broken computer¡¯s hard drive to my new laptop. The email account uses IMap, so no .PST file has been created, only a .OST file is present. Reading documentation on the web, I did not find any articles describing extracting contact information from a .OST file. Do any of you know of a tool that may allow me to extract contacts from a .OST file? This certainly does not seem to be supported by Microsoft.

I am running Office 365 and updated copies of Windows 10 home.

Thanks, Rick
