Create a new legacy .pst in 2003 then move/copy all of the emails in, then
use the newly created .pst file in the older version.

You'll need to open the pst in outlook 2003 and copy or export the contents
to a new pst made using the Outlook 97/2002 format.

Ok,
I saved email as export .pst file in 2003 but they were not compatible in
the 2002 version.

How do I export contents or copy to a new pst "made using the Outlook
97/2002 format" as you suggest?

I have not used legacy as 'wowbagger' mentions. What is that?

Create a new PST file in the '97-2002' format, then copy (drag-and-drop)
your stuff into that file. (Use right-click drag-and-drop to select
between Copy and Move.)

Pat's suggestion to copy is better than export, since export doesn't transfer
ALL of the Outlook data, but once you create the 97-2002 format PST, you can
select it when you perform the export and it will stay in the old format. You
don't have to create a new PST during the export.

You can try a popular Outlook recovery tool called Advanced Outlook
Repair to repair your PST file. It is a powerful tool to recover
messages, folders and other objects from corrupt or damaged Microsoft
Outlook PST files.
