hi dennis5151,

can try following steps give shot:
1. navigate original outlook 2016 mac profile, go \users\<username>\library\group containers\ubf8t346g9.office\outlook\outlook 15 profiles\<profiles name>\data\recent addresses
2. copy file there , put under same path of new outlook 2016 mac’s profile.

and, far know, if messages sent or received moved new outlook mac profile, build new “recent address” database autocomplete entries stored. so, can import previous messages new outlook 2016 mac profile, too. 

regards,
alan
