Microsoft Outlook imports the user’s nickname cache into a hidden message in your default message store when you attempt to launch the application for the first time, or try to configure it. The nickname cache file will be named as profilename.nk2. Outlook renames the file to profilename.nk2.old, once it is successfully imported. This is a single time process and the nickname cache will not be imported anymore with any further launch of the application. Outlook 2010 maintains your nickname cache by making changes to the hidden message in your default message store. It does not use the .nk2 file for maintaining your nickname cache.
So if you are looking forward to import a nickname cache file into your Outlook 2010 even after the initial cache importing process, you can follow these Outlook tech support guidelines to easily complete the task.
Instructions:
- Navigate to the location %appdata%\Microsoft\Outlook using Windows Explorer, and make sure that the .nk2 file is in present in the folder
- Also make sure that the .nk2 file you just located has the same name as the Outlook 2010 profile you are currently working upon. You can make use of these steps to know the profile you have currently opened.
- Open the Control Panel window by clicking on the Start button and selecting the Control Panel icon from the menu that pops out.
- In the new window, double click on the Mail icon to open it.
- Navigate to Show Profiles in the mail setup dialog box which will list out all your profile information.
- Open the Run tool from the Windows Start menu.
- Type outlook.exe /importnk2 into the text box titled Open, and then click Ok to continue. This action will successfully import the .nk2file into your Outlook profile.
- Once the import process is completed, the existing nickname cache which is currently stored in your mailbox will be merged with the files that were imported.
- We have already discussed that the .nk2 file is renamed with a .old file name extension when your Outlook 2010 is launched for the first time. So remove the .old file name extension if you wish to import the .nk2 file again.
You can easily import a nickname cache file into your Outlook 2010 by following the above given instructions. If you need further assistance, you can get in touch with the Outlook tech support team.
