Outllook 2003 pst to Outlook 2000

[Jeff]

Hi,

I don`t know if this is possible. I need to import PST
file from Outlook 2003 to Outlook 2000, is it possible?
Does Outlook 2003 have a converter to change it to be used
in previous versions? Is there a tool that Outlook 2000
can use to view PST files from new versions? any help
would be appreciated.

Have you encountered any other problems with Outlook 2003
passing information to an older version???

Hi,

Thanks for replying. As for me, I haven`t had any
problems with 2003. A coworker had to do a system restore
on his IBM notebook and we didn`t have his 2003 office CD
to use, we only have office 2000, his PST files were saved
by Outlook 2003 though and the version compatibility for
2000 wouldn`t read his 2003 pst files.

I am currently using a PST that went from OL 2000 to OL 2003 and back. I
can still access all the folders, contacts, etc. without problems, but when
I close OL 2000 outlook.exe does not actually terminate--I have to kill it
manually. This might be caused by the duplicated Personal Folders when I
went to 2003 (I had to recreate the profile, and it might stick something
2003 specific in the PST file).
