We're moving Exchange Servers and we export the Inbox, Calendar, Contacts,
etc. to a .pst file, then import that .pst into the new profile. Everything
comes in okay, except that the contacts for our company no longer have the
complete email address; just the user's name.

Importing is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data, which you have
managed to prove yet again. You must open the PST file and copy the data you
want from it.

Huh? Import does not import Outlook data into Outlook? Do you mean that we
must copy each piece of data, such as a single contact, individually into
Outlook - one at a time?

I certainly don't see the phrase "one at a time" in what Russ posted, do
you? Selection ranges work just fine on Outlook for copying.
