To convert the format of your PST-file from Outlook 2002 to the format of Outlook 2003 or higher, please follow the following steps:
1. If you still use Outlook 2002, please upgrade to Outlook 2003 or higher.
2. Close Outlook and leave all SyncNetworks or delete all SyncNetworks.
3. Rename your old PST-file (for example to Outlook_old.pst) and copy this file as a backup copy to another folder (for example to the desktop). The PST-file is located in this folder C:\Documents and Settings\user account\Locale Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook.
4. Start Outlook. You got the message: “The file “C:\Documents and Settings\user account\locale settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook.pst” cannot be found”. Please click “OK”. Now you will be asked for the folder the PST-file is located. Select NO existing file and click “open”. A new PST-file will be created.
5. Import your old data into the new PST-file: Click in the menu File on “Import and Export”. Click “Import from another program or file” and click “Next”. Click “Personal Folder File (.pst)” and click “Next”. Please insert to “File to import” the path and name of your old PST-file and click “Next”. Select option “Import items into the same folder in:” and then the name of the new PST-file. Follow the last steps from the Import/Export assistant.
