exporting disconnected Exchange cached Outlook data into a new exchange
system.... not a single error/corruption.


because THAT is what the export function is designed for NOT same-pst to
same-pst. The fact that you haven't had any corruption is luck. There are
MANY posts in forums and the newsgroups where people HAVE had corruption by
importing.

Show me one post where the pst was corrupted. We have seen profiles
corrupted (and I think some were bad to begin with), but I have yet to see a
pst corrupted by import.

There are legitimate reasons you should avoid import; there are legit
reasons to use it. The biggest reason not to use it is the loss of views and
other hidden data, and the change in the last mod date. Some users don't
care - they wouldn't know a custom view if it bit them - they just want the
darn thing working as quickly as possible. For them, import is fine.

And you don't appear to know all of the conditions that they may have
had, other than just wanting to export/import.

As I've said, thousands of instances where I've done different and same
and done it without a problem.

I suspect that one of the major causes for those that have problems is
malware or after fixing a malware compromised machine.

All of the times I've done this, the machines were clean.
