Outlook XP migration to PST file with missing attachments

[Triad]

Hello

Im runing Exchange 2000 and Windows XP with Outlook XP. But Im
switching to Kerio mail server but sticking with my Outlook clients.

And Im having problems migrating my PST file. This is what I do:

I do a export in my Outlock client and create a local PST file.
I remove the connection to the Exchange server and set up a new
connection to the Kerio mail server (no problem)
I open my Outlook client and do a import of the backup PST file. And
that is working fine also. I get no error messages or what so ever.
BUT, when I check the mails that Ive imported I see that all mails
wich have a attachment are corrupt. The mail who are suppose to have a
attachment have somehow translated that attachment to text. So a email
with for example a PDF file as a attachment is now 5000 lines long and
no attachment.

This problem only occurs from users who are not in our exchange
server. Meaning if a email is sent local on our server with a
attachemnt it works fine.

Anyone got any ideas ?

After the export directly connect to the pst-file by File-> Open-> Outlook
Data File
Are the items still intact then? If so it is not an Outlook issue but with
your Kerio Mail Server.
