Hello,
I am trying to copy my Outlook from one laptop to another.
I have both copied the PST file directly (Outlook.pst) and trie
creating a back-up/export and copying over that file (backup.pst).
Either way, I copy over the file to my new laptop, and make sure the
are not read only.
However, Outlook stil lrefuses to import from the file, saying it i
not a pst file.
If I click on the file itself, without outlook being opened, it open
outlook and tries to make my file an attachment to an e-mail...
I ran scanpst, and this miraculously allows outlook to get further i
the import process, it doesn't say it is not a pst file, but for som
reason it finds none of my 250MB of stored e-mails when it imports.
I FINALLY FIXED THIS! For those who may have a similar problem, her
is what it was in my case.
When I set it to export to a file, even though there was no "Encryptio
password" selected, there was a little radio button above that Outlook
defaults to "Encrypt". Apparently this is why it could not be read b
Outlook later (though it gives you no error to explain).
So moral is, be areful if a dialog omes up about encryption to mak
sure the radio button for "None" is selected.
I also broke up my export into smaller batches, one folder at a time
perhaps that helped, but I dunno.
I am using Outlook 2002.
Much appreciate any assistance, this is driving me nuts.
