Somebody has saved my e-mails on a memory stick. I now try to copy them back
to Outlook. He has not exportet my e-mails as a .pst file instead he says I
should just drag and drop the mails from my explorer to my Outlook. I copied
the mails first onto my desktop and created a separate file in Outlook where
I want to place my mails.

However, I am getting the message "The item could not be copied"...on my
other laptop with Outlook 2003 it works without any problems. Do I need to
change any settings in order to copy my mails in Outlook 2002.

Any help is appreciated.

Many thanks.

Nicole

Outlook 2002 cannot read Outlook 2003 items. On Outlook 2003 export the
items to an ANSI formatted pst-file.
