Importing Journal Entries

Long story short - Outlook somehow wiped out all the Notes comments in a
contact list of 3,000 people.  To restore those, we did a import contacts
from a backed-up .pst file.  We are noticing that the Journal entries need to
be re-imported also.  Does anyone know if MS is intuitive enough to put the
right Journal entries with the right people?  We had to delete some contacts
as they came in as duplicates - so the original contact file might not exist
that a Journal entry was attached to, yet the original name might be a
contact still.

Thanks.

No, the journal entries won't be relinked. Exporting data to a .pst file,
then importing it breaks all contact links. The article at
http://www.exchangeadmin.com/Articles/Index.cfm?ArticleID=22254 has a
reconnect script that should get you started.
