I had more than 1000 receive addresses.
1. I salvage my wallet
2. I dump it
3. I opened a new wallet and imported from the dump Than I lost my 1.000 receive addresses. I now got only 2 addresses.(one of them from the new wallet and only one new created ).
Does bit coin have a merge feature of addresses?

I also tried to send money to an old address the new salvaged wallet did not receive it. Please help

the dumpwallet + importwallet RPC can be used to import all keys/transactions of another wallet

we did that. After the import it just created one receive address. And bitcoinqt popup appeared more than 1000 times.

and the wallet db size fall from 220 mb to 50 mb after the salvage operation.

In the background I still receive some transactions but not all of them.I suspect it created one parent address for all it fixed. And ı am not getting transactions from the 75 percent of my wallet.

Does import from the dump file clean up all keys not the transactions ?

The dump file will contain a key per line. It's an ASCII file so you can check yourself.

It doesn't contain transactions.
