Hi guys, 
 
Shot in the dark here to be honest! 
I have jsut been given a new (to me) PC at work. 
It has MS outlook 2002 on it so when i have tried to import my old email files it says they are not compatible. 
 
IT bloke at work has said we have only got 2002 and doesnt know how i ended up with 03. So basically "get on with it". 
 
Not having those emails is going to make my Job so much harder than it needs to be! 
 
So, does any one have a copy of outlook 2003 they can either send me or email me?? 
 
or anyone have a different solution, better than get on with it!! 
 
Any help would be great!! 
 
Cheers

Send it to someone with Office 2003 and ask them to create a 2002 compatable PST and drag and drop woohoo solution.

p.s you cant get Outlook 2003 on its own... you have to get the full installer and choose to install outlook only

Was about to say, just drag and drop all the emails into a folder, then drag them from the folder into outlook.

Sorry just read my post and it wasnt very clear!! 
 
I some how had 2003 on my old machine but now my new machine has 2002 and the IT bloke is saying we only have a copy of 2002. 
 
The limit of my knowledge was to import/export the file!!! 
 
Any ideas?? 
Thanks guys!

As far as im aware there are no converters for .PST files so your best option is to do what Richie said and get someone with 2003 to import your email and then export them in the 2002 format. 
 
You can then import them back across.
