Hi!
I downloaded this Outlook Personal Folders Backup. I did this so that i
can backup my email when i used a trial version of Outlook 2003. I
uninstalled Outlook 2003. Installed an Outlook 2002, When i tried to import
the .pst file from Outlook 2003 to my new Outlook 2002, it is giving me an
error message saying -- is not compatible with this version of personal
folders information service.
I need to recover the email i have since using the 60 days trial version
of Outlook 2003.
Please help me find a solution to import the .pst file. Thank you.

You cannot. Instead you must use Outlook 2003 to create a PST file in the
older format (Outlook 97-2002). Then just open that file in an older
installation. Never import it.
