I archived several folders from an Outlook 2003 account
that was connected to an exchange server. I need to open
these on a different machine with Outlook 2002 configured
for pop3 access. I am getting an error "Properties for
this information service must be defined prior to use". I
do not have access to the exchange server or any exchange
server now. Is there anything that I can do ?
 
Your archive files are probably in Outlook 2003's new unicode PST format.
Unfortunately only Outlook 2003 can read those files. Outlook 202 cannot.
You'd need to open them with Outlook 2003 and then create a new PST file
in Outlook 2003 that's Outlook 2002 compatible and copy the items into
that new PST file. When you create a new PST file in Outlook 2003 it will
ask you whether you want to create a new PST file or a Outlook 97-2002
compatible PST file.
