First, there's no reason, except for size, to convert, since OL 2003 can
read prior version PSTs with no problem. However, if you wish to convert,
you have two choices. 1) Create a new Unicode PST and import the old one or
2) (my choice) create a new PST, open the old one and move all entries from
the old to the new.

other possible reason (mine in fact): "auto archive" does not want to
use old PST as they are not "unicode aware" :/

(terms between "" may not be the /good/ ones as they are translated from
french)
