When an import operation is executed with the DAPI_RAW_MODE control flag set, the import function does not use default values or attribute inheritance. If this flag is not set, fields for which no values are supplied are left blank. For example, the three attributes homeDSA, homeMTA, and homeMDB (the directory, MTA, and information store associated with this object) should all be set to the same value, namely the same computer. For safety, the directory access functions used for importing set these attributes to the same value unless the DAPI_RAW_MODE control flag is set. Therefore, you have more flexibility with raw mode, but you must set these values explicitly or unexpected results may occur.
