    Posted: 01 October 2003 at 7:05pm
I will be getting a new computer next week. I currently have more than 5,000 emails in Outlook 2000 that I would like to move to my new computer. I also have many folders under Sent. I would like to move them to my new computer as well. My new computer will have Outlook 2003. Can anyone please tell me how to do this?

KCWebMonkey is right. Use the File -> Import/Export feature to export your selected folders to a "pst" file (the wizard will guide you through selecting your folders). You can then copy the .pst file onto your new computer and use the Import/Export feature on the new computer to import it.

It can copy all of the Outlook items, including contacts, notes, etc.

I tried doing this. Unfortunately, it didn't work for me. Does anyone know of any other way to do this? I may be doing something wrong.

you have to be doing something wrong, as this is the best way to do it. export to a .pst file and import it into the new version. do a google search if you need a tutorial on it.

By default this export is not installed though, (if you chose typical installation) so grab your cd's and add that feature. Otherwise you could locate your current pst file in you local folder and just copy it, that should work also.

I have the same problem. I read that the Outlook 2003 files are in a new Unicode format and that pst files prior to Outlook 2003 are not compatible (ANSI format).

Microsoft say that the conversion cannot be handled automatically and that you have to create a new object (folder) in Outlook 2003 to import the old files into so that they become Unicode compatible. The process is described in the help section of Outlook 2003.

However it didn't work for me. I have just discovered that when you dod a repair on Outlook 2000 folders the files are placed elsewhere so I think this is likely my problem.
