Default Emailing from Contacts - undeliverable

PST is Outlook's native format. All you need to do is open that file and
copy the data you need from it. Importing Outlook data loses more data than
it transfers. I have no idea why Microsoft won't acknowledge that and either
fix it or remove the option so people won't try to use it.

No, I was not aware of this. I usually receive a pst file from an
incoming
user and I import it. So, what should I be doing instead? I still have
the
pst files on CD and I can re-do this easily enough if I knew what to do.
Thanks for your help.

Apparently you were not aware that importing is never the correct way to
transfer Outlook data. The addresses you imported have not been resolved.
You must now go through and resolve them one by one by opening and saving
each Contact Record.

I have a user who just joined our firm. He brought his contact list
with
him
and I imported them. Previous and present firm both use Outlook 2003.
The
problem is when he tries to send an email from his contact list, he
gets
an
NDR. If we type in the same address in the TO: line of a message, it
is
delivered without a problem. What could be causing this? Thank you.
