duplicating messages after messages importing pst file

[rahul dighe]

I am changing from one PC to another. I copied the pst
file from the old machine to the new one. When I created
a new profile in outlook 2003 and did "send/receive", it
is downloading all the messages again from the server.
All these messages already exist in my old pst file and
hence in my inbox on the new machine. This is taking
forever and creating unnecessary copies in inbox.
Thanks,
- Rahul

Hello Rahul!

Go to the new Computer, connect to exchange an download all messages.
After that import the pst file. On the dialog you are choosing the pst
file to import you have three options. One is "do not create dublicates".

that should help.
