You left out a lot of important troubleshooting information. Do not make us
try to guess at such things.
How did you do this import? Not sure what you imported since Outlook has no
address book. In the future, remember that importing is a poor way to
transfer Outlook data.
Make sure your PST file is intact and displaying all your Contacts
correctly. Then try creating a new profile from scratch and make sure you
have the Outlook Address Book configured correctly to display this Contacts
Folder.
