That's how results tipically look like, "Primary mailbox" should actually be a subfolder of the full export. Apart from the "Primary mailbox" folder you might also see "Archive mailbox" if the user has online archive enabled. If your search/export spans across multiple mailboxes, you will see a (parent) folder for each individual mailbox as well.
Thanks for your answer. This what Microsoft told me when I made an incident.
The strange part is that before I was doing this I tested it ith another tenant and then I didn't got that Primary Mailbox folder and the PST was in the root. So I could import the PST right in the users mailbox root folder.
With this primary mailbox folder I alwas get another folder in the inbox of the user with this PST file. I also can't find anything about this in the Blogs about exporting the PST files. https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dn440164(v=exchg.160).aspx
For now with this method a user has to move all his old mail and folders to his new mailbox.
Also will his old calendar be put in an seond calendar.
