How can I convert my Archive Folder from its OL2002 style to the new OL2003 style?

[Juan I. Cahis]

Dear friends:

The size of my Archive Folder is approaching 2 GB.

How can I convert my Archive Folder from its OL2002 style to the new
OL2003 style? I understand that the OL2003 style doesn't have the 2 GB
limitation.

I use Outlook 2003. Any hint?

Thanks

Your English is just fine.

You can't "convert" a PST file from an older format to the newer Unicode
format. You can create a new PST file in OL2003 and open up both at once,
copy & paste from old to new....

Then you can change the path for your archive file to the new one.

I recommend renaming default file names - as in, not outlook.pst for your
primary PST, but yourname.pst - and not archive.pst, but yourname
archive.pst.
