Error message when trying to move outlook 2003 pst files to Outlook 97-2002 folder

Followed Outlookhelp steps to create a new Outlook 97-2002 Data File
but when trying to move 2003 folder to this non unicode location,
received error message 'Can't move the items. Special categories
including inbox, controls, calendar, notes, tasks, and Journal folders
cannot be moved'. When I tried option 2 and tried to export the files,
nothing happened. I'm doing this to allow synching with my Rex 6000
PDA which is only able to synch non unicode files. Any ideas on how to
make this work? Thanks

Click to expand...

Make your default delivery location point to the new PST file, not the
unicode one. Then restart Outlook and try again.
Don't export/import....
