I am in the process of recovering data from an anchange disaster.  I had all
of the mailboxes recovered and are all in PST files.  I am now going through
and showing users how to import their calendars, contacts, mail etc.  When a
user imports his/her contacts, everything goes fine until they try to use
those contacts through the address book.  The address book does not show any
contacts added by the import.  Any newly created contacts are visible.  I
have found that if I change the email address of an imported contact, that
contact will then appear in the address book.  This indicates a corruption in
the email address of the contact.  All of the email addresses appear fine in
the contact list, so the error must be something else, but related.

Another interesting note is that if I add the contacts folder from the PST
file to the address book without importing it, all contacts show in the
address book.  It is only after importing/copying the contacts, that this
"corruption" occurs.

I need to have these contacts repaired, and cannot do it on a one-by-one
basis as I have 132 PST files to restore and many of them contain large
amounts of contacts.
