I'm a bit confused as you say "POP3 Exchange Server". Do you mean you have
both account types are you are accessing an Exchange server via POP3? If
the later, why?

exchange mail server 2007.

John,

I can't copy my pst files. It says I need to use explorer to open, but it
doesn't open. I have outlook 2003 on one computer and am trying to copy to a
new computer with 2007. Can you tell me anything else to try?? Contacts are
my big issue, with calendar next. Email isn't an issue.

Thanks

Craig

I don't understand what you are saying. Navigate in Windows Explorer to the
folder that contains your pst file. Right-click on it and select Copy.
Navigate to the removable media (or however you are transferring the file)
and click Paste.
Where does that process fall down for you?
