E23k public folders migration

I've got a perplexing problem. I moved a group of 5 users from an E2K
Enterprise server to a SBS2k3 server this past week.
I exported their emails to PST via exmerge and reimported into their new
mailboxes.

I am now experiencing two problems; they may be unrelated.

1. One user is saying there are certain, but not all emails that he cannot
access. Gets an out of memory cannot preview message error. Then after
opening the email and not just previewing it gets the same error.

2. Secondly and more important is the public folders. I exported all of
them to a PST (191 Meg) and them from the admin account imported them into
the new public folders.
users cannot see them, but the admin account can. I have adjusted rights to
Everyone full access. and have checked the rights to not be inherited. As a
work around I imported the public folders into a users mailbox and let her
access them from their, but I need to get the correct email addresses set
for those mailboxes. Remote users send in timecard etc. to the public
folder and office personnel manage it from their. I am considering just
moving the folders from the end user who has them now and put them in the
public folders, but are my SMTP addresses going to work out.
There are about 80+ mailboxes. I am not against manually recreating them,
but would like to save time if possible.

Details: The old Exchange 2003 Ent. server is still operational, just
powered down. I could possible perform some form of migration, but SBS can
be finicky about that with it wanting to always be the domain controller.


Thanks,

Brad Palmer
