GAL from Exchange account to POP3 account...

We have an Exchange 2003 in a Win 2003 domain.
I have an Outlook 2003 client in a Exchange mode.
I open up the Address Book choose all contacts and then I add them to
a contacts
file which is compatible with previous versions of Outlook.
Then I export the contacts to a pst file and I import it to another
profile which is a POP3 account.
when I go to the contacts I imported, I open one contact and I
right-click on the e-mail address field choosing properties I get the
message :
"The name or distribution list has been deleted and is no longer a
valid Address Book entry. The item could not be found "
And when I'm sending an e-mail using the imported contacts from the To
field the mail doesn't leave the outbox.
If I go the imported contacts and I retype the e-mail address it's
ok!!!!

Could someone enlighten me??? Explain me what is going on here ?

P.S Sorry but I'm kind of new to the Exchange admin.

it sounds like the exchange address is used, not the SMTP address and I
thought it was fixed in later versions of Outlook.

First of all, Diane, I would like to thank you for taking the time to
answer my question.
Well, actually I opened the Address Book and the e-mail address is
like this :
/o="organizationname"/ou="Administrative
Group"/cn=Recipients/cn="alias"
So what you're telling me is that it isn't an error from me but from
MS.
I'd like to know if there is a faster way to correct this than the
solutions we're given from the articles you pointed out.

Any ideas?
