I deleted Exchange mailbox, now imported contacts don't show up

There was a problem with the user's mailbox, so I deleted it and made a new
one.

I imported all previous items back from a .PST file.

Everything shows up fine, but when the user tries to add contacts into an
email, from "Contacts" under "Outlook Address Book", there is an error
message saying the address book has been moved or deleted, or may not have
permissions.

She can still work by right-clicking the contact, and selecting "New Mail
Message with this contact" or whatever...

How can I solve this problem?

Remove the Outlook Address Book service and then add it back again.
The new one should link to all contacts folders that are enabled as
address books. The old service was linked to SID's that no longer
exist since the old mailbox doesn't exist any longer.

Thanks!

Where do I remove it from? The workstation in outlook, or in Exchange on the
server?
