For my company e-mail addresses, the original format was
Lastname_firstname@xxx.com, but once I have synchronized with the exchange
server, and copied the contacts to my home computer, the e-mail addresses
have changed to this "/o=company/ou=first sdministrative
group/cn=recipients/cn=xxx", with the e-mail type as "EX".

This works OK when sending through the server, but is entirely useless when
sending throuh an outside e-mail system.

How do I change these back?

What you perceive as "corruption" is the actual primary address that Exchange uses for the individual. See http://www.slipstick.com/exs/portagal.htm if you need a way to carry the SMTP addresses around.

Thank you for your reply, now I know why this happened.

After reviewing the website you suggested, it would be easier to simply
re-enter the e-maill addereeses manually for the number that I have.

Thank you
