Distributionlists from OL 2000 don't work in OL 2003
After I upgradet from OL 2K to OL 2003 I imported the .pst file and
everything seemed to have worked properly.The distributionlists are present but empty! Does anyone has an idea what I can do now? Thanks! |

Thank you for your answer, yes I do backups.
Am I right that you don't mean .pst backups? "Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]" wrote: > Importing is never the correct way to transfer Outlook data.
