Import Outlook 2007 .pst into Outlook 2000 or Windows Mail 7

[Brandon E]

I used to have trial of Outlook 2007. I saved my .pst onto my computer and
now I want to use either Outlook 2000 or Windows Mail. Unfortunately I have
not found a way to import the .pst file from Outlook 2007 into either of
these programs. Any help would be very welcomed.

You can't. The only way you can accomplish that is to use Outlook 2007 to
create a PST file in the older format (Outlook 97-2002). You can then open
that file in Outlook 2000. No program but Outlook can use PST files.

The outlook 2007 data file is not compatible with versions of OL earlier
than 2003
OL & Mail have to be both set up on the same PC before, in Mail you can
import your msgs
Also Outlook2k is not compatible with Vista, allthough I believe there are
some workarounds

But how do you save the 2007 Contacts list while in Outlook 2000 in the
Outlook 2000 format?? Using 2007 Export, there is no option to revert to the
older 2000 format!

That's because you DON'T USE EXPORT!
In Outlook 2007 do File-New-Outlook Data File. Choose the 97-2002 format.
Then COPY all your data to the new pst file you have just created. Close the
new file. (Right-Click, close).
Copy that new file to the machine with Outlook 2000 on it and reverse the
process.

Sorry I mis-spoke; I have no option in Export Outlook 2007 to save a pst file
in 2000 Outlook format, at least in the trial version that I have. Am I
missing an addin? I already added the MS backup utility.
