Not really. You provided no information on what you are doing or how. Sounds
to me like you are not copying correctly. You do not copy folders. You copy
their contents.

It is far better to open the old PST file in the same profile as the new
file, and copy what you need from the old to the new.

Per msft instructions - I am trying to convert a non uni-code pst file
(outlook 2000 with 2gb storage capacity) into a uni-code (outlook 2003
20gb storage capacity) pst file. They recommend creating a new data
file and then import the files from the previous pst into the new data
file. I do this, it appears to work, but at the end it generates an
error that reads "Operation Failed". Any ideas?


Thanks for the reply guys. MSFT themselves suggested the import routine
that didnt work.

Of course it failed. I also tried copying my folders into the new pst
but they would also fail with errors about not copying into top-folders
or something like that. "A top-level folder can't be copied to one of
its subfolders."

Any ideas?
