You don't import Outlook data. You can simply use the same data file.
The file you need is your Personal Folders file (*.pst) It's where all the
mail, calendar, contacts etc are stored.

Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup or transfer:

Russ,

I've found if I open my Outlook 2003 .pst file and then see two Contacts
folder within Contact, the new default Contacts folder in 2007 and the one
that is in my 2003 .pst and I then attemtp to 'drag and copy' my contacts
from the 2003 Contacts folder into the default 2007 Contacts folder Outlook
overall then slows to a crawl and especially when creating a new message my
type stalls and hangs. If I then delete the copied contacts from the 2007
Contacts folder the Outlook 2007 performance runs normally.

The problem is keeping my old 2003 .pst around simply to get to my contacts
is a causes me to have to scroll to that contact list every time I need to
find a contact when say looking for a contact when hitting TO: in a message.

Why do you have to "keep your old Outlook 2003 .pst around?" You should
simply copy the contents of its Contacts Folder into your new one. Then you
can close your Outlook 2003 PST file from the profile.

Russ,

I did just that and copied the contacts from the 2003 .pst into the contacts
folder for the 2007 .pst and as soon as I did that the total Outlook 2007
software system slowed down to a crawl. I mentioned this in my original
comments below. I have no idea why this causes an issue and if I then
'delete' all copied contacts out of the 2007 Contact folder, Outlook speeds
back up. I notice this problems especially when editing new messages but the
system generally hangs overall.

In addition to Russ' suggestion, try a "wolf fence" approach. Copy some of
the contacts. If Outlook doesn't slow, you know what you copied is good.
Copy another batch and another until Outlook slows. You know then the last
batch you copied contains bad data. Back it out and reduce the size of the
data you're copying. Eventually you'll find the item causing trouble, which
you can recreate manually.

Use the Inbox Repair Tool. If you can't find it, search for "scanpst.exe" on
your hard drive and run it against your PST file.

Using Vista Enterprice + Office 2007 Professional Pro, where do I find the
Inbox Repair Tool, or the scanpst.exe?

I have done a search (c-drive incl hidden and non indexed fiels) without
result.

By the way - I must say I find the info not to import from elder or backuped
pst-files confusing. I guess many of us quite normal users who has Vista and
Office new installed without updating from elder Office has done imports, and
ended up with problems, as described in the arguments from thouse leaving
info on not to do imports.

Thanks / Tomas
