Import 2000 pst into 2003 pst - operation failed
Suggest reading my post. Answer has already been provided.
You never try to copy an entire PST file, nor even an entire folder.
As I said, you copy the contents of a folder.

Sounds
to me like you are not copying correctly. You do not copy folders. You
copy
their contents.
Russ - as far as I know there is only one way to "copy". Enlighten me
if that isnt the case. However, to be more clear I will explain the
process I am currently using. Lets assume I have already opened outlook
2003 and created a new uni-code pst, we'll call it 2003. In my folder
view I see My main pst named personal folder, the new pst called 2003.
Now I will open the "old" pst. It is named 2000. So now we have three
PST files opened. One is non-uni and two are uni. Now I will begin the
copy process. Under the 2000 pst folder list there is a folder, we will
call it "users". I right click it, choose Copy "users". I am then asked
where I would like to copy the folder users to - I select 2003 and then
click OK. After a few seconds of processing time Outlook begins the
copy process. At some point in the copy process, but after several
minutes, outlook returns the error "Cant move the items. Unable to move
or copy folders. Cant move folder. A top-level folder cant be moved to
one of it's subfolders. Or, you may not have appropriate permissions
for the folder. To check the permissions for the folder, right-click
the folder, and then click Properties on the shortcut menu." Note -
2003 has been chosen as the pst that mail is delivered into. Thoughts?
Ideas?
