Is there any way to import and read mails from Outlook-2003 ".pst"
personal folder file in Outlook-2000?
I keep getting a "incompatible pst" error.
Is there a work around?
 
No. Someone with Outlook 2003 will first have to "convert" it to the older
format by creating a PST in the old format and copying the data into that
file.
