What happens when Import/export Outlook file

[Guest]

Is it correct that you lose the links between Outlook items when you export
or import an Outlook file?

What other situations would I lose links.

Yes, among a lot of other things.
Exporting PST's will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we advise people
to simply copy and reuse PST files.
