Importing messages from Outlook 2003 into 2000?

[Colin Caulkins]

I have Outlook 2003 on my computer at work and Outlook 2000 on my
computer at home. I would like to move some messages from my work to my
home machine. Unfortunately, Outlook 2000 doesn't seem able to understand
the .pst files generated by Outlook 2003. Is there any way around this?

Make sure you create and copy items into a legacy (Outlook 97 - 2002) pst
file. See File | New | Outlook Data file. Pick the Outlook 97 - 2002 type.
Copy items form mailbox to this new pst. Close it when done (right click on
personal folders and select close/disconnect.)

That did the trick -- thanks! Odd that Outlook's export facility doesn't
allow you to export to a legacy pst file.
