You should try doing things in the real world before you go posting about them. I've done this thousands of times, different versions, same versions, exporting disconnected Exchange cached Outlook data into a new exchange system.... not a single error/corruption. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

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.
From: Diane Poremsky [MVP] on 2 Apr 2010 14:41 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. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Do you sync your mailbox with a smartphone or pda? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=39473 "Gordon" <gordonbparker(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:#bdXCZo0KHA.364(a)TK2MSFTNGP02.phx.gbl... > > "Leythos" <spam999free(a)rrohio.com> wrote in message > news:MPG.261fe9949e37178a98a257(a)us.news.astraweb.com... >> > >> 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.

It's "former MVP". I don't know that he's ever said it will corrupt the pst. He does state it can corrupt the profile. There are legit reasons to export to a pst (example: copying a calendar or contacts only to another machine), there are legit reasons to import from a pst. There are legit reasons its bad to use Import and Export. There are times when it makes sense to copy the pst. There are times when it doesn't make sense. It's all about knowing which is which. -- Diane Poremsky [MVP - Outlook] Outlook Tips: http://www.outlook-tips.net/ Outlook & Exchange Solutions Center: http://www.slipstick.com/ Outlook Tips by email: mailto:dailytips-subscribe-request(a)lists.outlooktips.net EMO - a weekly newsletter about Outlook and Exchange: mailto:EMO-NEWSLETTER-SUBSCRIBE-REQUEST(a)PEACH.EASE.LSOFT.COM Do you sync your mailbox with a smartphone or pda? http://forums.slipstick.com/showthread.php?t=39473 "Gordon" <gordonbparker(a)yahoo.com> wrote in message news:hp55c2$2g8$1(a)news.eternal-september.org... > > "Diane Poremsky [MVP]" <outlookmvp(a)msn.com> wrote in message > news:#LFyROn0KHA.3652(a)TK2MSFTNGP04.phx.gbl... >> Corrupted profiles, yes... but remember, we only see the reports where it >> caused problems, not the millions of times it actually worked as >> expected.
