No one knows why the option to import and export Outlook data still exists.
It did work back in Outlook 97, but it hasn't worked for so long now that it
should have been removed long ago. I suspect it is with many other things in
Outlook. Removing a dysfunctional feature takes more work than just leaving
it in, so they just leave it in. Pretty sloppy if you ask me, but they
don't.

Thanks Karl,
I'll try this one next. As regards to STMP mapping. Is there a kind of
switch/ setting one could perhaps change temporarily. British Telecom/ Yahoo
as our ISP provider have set all our computers to STMP. I would guess a
method should exist to switch, as effects only the outgoing mail. Sorry for
the late reply: I was rather sick in between.
Looking forward to hearing from you

#1) If the objective is to get your contacts from one machine to another and
you have access to the source PST file, simply copy your PST file to the
target machine, open the PST file on the 2nd machine and copy whatever info
you need from one folder to another (make sure to take off the read-only
attribute after you've copied the PST file to the 2nd machine if necessary).
Import/export is definitely not recommended for purely moving native Outlook
info between two machines regardless of data format used. As for the
original SMTP question, all depends whether or not you actually mapped the
email TYPE when importing especially if the email addresses being imported
are not of the SMTP type ).

#2) As for PST2PST importing/exporting - that can, in and of itself, lead to
either (or both) immediate and/or future issues and in my opinion should be
avoided at all costs unless there is some real pressing need/purpose (which
is something I've yet to encounter under normal circumstances). This is
especially true if the contact info has been upgraded over multiple versions
of Outlook over the years. The creation of a new folder when doing PST2PST
import/export is the way that process works.

No. DL = Distribution List. DL's were the subject of your last question.
I'll guess that your actual problem isn't with DL's, however, but the fact
that the Contacts you are transferring aren't behaving as expected. Is that
the real question? If so, troubleshooting that problem would require
knowing:
1. How and where the original Contact data was created (including whether
you are using a local data store or an Exchange mailbox)
2. How exactly you transferred the Contact data to your notebook, in
complete detail.

Karl and I are suggesting the same thing (and always do). But you keep
leaving out the relevant details that permit a specific set of instructions
for your situation. Neither of us even knows if you are even using a PST
file as your data source or some other data store such as an Exchange
mailbox. At any rate, many of us post information on how to transfer Outlook
data correctly here on an almost daily basis. Feel free to read those
references.

I conclude then after all said and done - all things are finally working for
you, which is a good thing (all that matters really).

As for Outlook's "anomalies" and "undocumented features (to use a polite
description)", I believe that someone took the phrase "no pain, no gain" to
heart when it comes to enabling anyone to master the best ways to deal with
Outlook data, its containers, and modes of operation :-) (we can attest to
that first hand once one strays outside the norm even for the simplest and
most basic of things). I suspect the cause of that being purely to make
things backwards compatible (or likely the better word being "useable") as
much as possible particularly when it involves data from multi-generations
of Outlook.

regards
Kristian
p.s. I still don't understand as to why MS offers the option of
importing
and exporting, if one cant use it due to the objections you had and as
to
why
and where in the im/exporting process data is added, that doesn't
belong
there?

No answer is possible without knowing what your data source was and

No one should ever transfer Outlook data by exporting and importing
through
a different format unless they want to lose or alter that data, as
you
are
illustrating.
You should only use Outlook's native data file format to transfer
data,
but
again without using export and import. Just copy the data file and
open
it
in the other installation.

I will have to find out, whether it works. Would have thought that
Excel
or
CVS are commonly used and schould universally do the trick. The
question
though is, why and where are these STMP additions created and
why?
Will come back with results a.s.a.p.
