Outlook 03 - Won't Import It's Own .PST File

[Guest]

Hello,

I have an inhouse exchange server. About 3 weeks ago it started failing. For
outlook I run an exchange server account and all IMAP emails.

By the time I replaced the server, on some accounts it had lost big
portiions of the stored email.

I have since replaced the server, and the new server is functioning. When I
goto import the previously exported .PST file I get bits and pieces.

I have the original intact .PST files (not exported). If I try to import
these I get bits and pieces.

The .PST files are 100 and 50 megs. I get an import of roughly 30% of the
content in the .PST file.

I tried opening 2 email accounts, 1 the New Active account, 2 a fake
account. Then with the fake account I renamed the original .PST file so that
outlook opens it. The fake account has 100% content available and accurate.
But if I try to drag it to the new IMAP email account - I get about 10%
content transfer.

Any ideas what is going on and how I can resolve this issue ?

Thank You,

Dave B

Don't import, try this instead:

Reconnect your old Outlook data file

You should be able to drag and drop folders from the. PST files back into
Exchange Server mailboxes
