Hope this makes sense, my mind is fuzzy this morning and not sure if I'm reading your question correctly :(
I made two pst files called a1 and a2, containing the same messages. Created two folders called a1 and a2. I import a1.pst to folder a1, all messages and folder tree created, Then import a2.pst to folder a1 with "do not duplicate as the option, I didn't get duplicates. Do not import duplicate items Existing data will be kept, and the duplicate information in the file will not be copied to the current Outlook folder. Now if I import one of those pst's to folder a2, it does create dupes of what is in folder a1 - because it's a different Outlook folder. I'd think that'd be the same across all Outlooks and that Exchange version wouldn't matter; I did it with OL2003 and Ex2010. Paul From: Ellis, John P.
