The "Send As" and "Receive As" rights were set OK, I had already taken
care of that, for Domain Admins.

I guess my question is:  If the export is done on one Exchange server with
one OU structure in the AD, and then the same PST file is copied to a
system with a very different AD and OU structure, does it matter to
Exmerge, and how to import the PST correctly?

best regards
Mike
