I hope that anyone who has the solution to my problem
would email me and i'd be very thankful. In brief, I was
using OUTLOOK 2003 and then i EXPORTED the items (inbox,
sent, etc...) into one .PST file and i wanted to import
them on OUTLOOK XP it gave a compatibility error, neither
physically and manually copying each message on its own
from 2003 to XP work. i think it's logical but THERE HAS
TO BE A SOLUTION. Kindly help. Thank You.
 
You were probably using the new file format in Outlook 2003. If you still
have access to it, export your .pst file and select the 97-2002 format.
This is usable in previous versions of Outlook.

The Outlook 2003 unicode format allows for larger storage (20 gigs is the
default although the theoretical is about 32 terabytes) Outlook 2002 and
earlier use an ansi format that allows only a maximum of 2 gigs of Outlook
data.
