Importing public folders

I have migrated from SBS 2000 to SBS 2003. Microsoft states it will not migrate public folders. So I exported the public folder from one client into a PST file. Should I have exported each client public folder, do all clients access the same public folder? Can I just import this one and all can access it? How do I go about importing it and where do I import it to? I guess I don't understand the Public folder concept. Why don't clients just share thier calendars and folders if they want others to see what thier up to?

Thanks for the info. I had trouble importing the folders. I had to import them to a user and then move them to the public folder. I think it was a permission thing. I opened up the public folder to all users in system manager but still could not import to the public folder. How do you change permissions to the public folder?
What permissions did you try to change?
Public Folder permissions are managed through Client Settings or Outlook. All users should be able to create public folders unless something has been changed on the permissions.
