Hello. I have been using the calender feature in Outlook 2003. After a while
I imported messages and mail accounts from Outlook Express 6 into Outlook
2003. The Calender in Outlook was blank after that and I can't find it. I
have tried looking at old PST files and retrieving data etc. but it doesn't
work.

Thanks,

Unless you had a folder in Outlook Express called "Calendar" (it would be a
mail folder, though, since OE doesn't have a calendar), I don't see how this
is possible. What folders do you see in the Folder List view?

By the way, always export messages from Outlook Express to Outlook. Never
import them from Outlook Express with Outlook. The dates change if you do.

Thank-you. I had an empty CALENDER folder in the DELETED ITEMS folder of
OE6. This has been imported into the DELETED ITEMS folder of Outlook 2003.

I couldn't for the life of me find the old calender information from
Outlook. Somehow it must have been overwritten rather than plain deleted.

P.S. I did notice one date change on an email in Outlook 2003. Although the
original date is still viewable on opening the email it is not correct on the
list.

Since you had not Calendar folder in OE, then there's nothing that would
have overwritten anything in your Calendar folder in Outlook.

Importing from OE to Outlook will change dates. You should always export
messages from OE to Outlook.
