Greetings jhillbos !

You can import the cache from an old nickname file.  The cache is stored in NK2 file. With Outlook close, search for the old *.NK2 from previous account or user.  

.NK2 file is located in
C:\Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook folder. It is a hidden file. Go to any folder and select Tools > Folders Options > View. Check "Show hidden files and folders".  Click OK.

Then import the data from old nickname file to new nickname file with an NK2 editor  <-- free
