No. I wouldn't disagree. Exporting and importing work fine when users only
want to transfer a _portion_ of the PST file and are simpler than copying
and opening the entire PST just to transfer a small portion of the file.
The problem comes when users try to use Export and Import to transfer their
_entire_ PST File. That causes a corrupt profile because the profile cannot
connect the address book service to the imported PST file (it thinks that
property has already been set, but it hasn't). Also, things like rules,
information stored in hidden messages, and distribution lists do not survive
the import process.
The majority of the problems that arise with export and import are end user
error.

Corrupted profiles, yes... but remember, we only see the reports where it
caused problems, not the millions of times it actually worked as
expected. Done right, the profile will not corrupt.

I think Russ Valentine, MVP would strongly disagree with you!
