Corrupted email rules when moving pst file Outlook 2003 to 2007
Computer w/ XPpro, Outlook 2003. Copied the pst file onto a zip drive.
Uploaded in onto a computer w XPpro, Outlook 2007 and put the pst file into a directory under My Documents. Opened Outlook 2007. Used file/open/outlook data file and opened the new pst file. Went to tools/account settings, and set the new pst file as the default delivery for email. Then on the same tab, I used remove to close the old folder. I now have one data folder open, the correct one. But all the email rules now are corrupted: they all are have lost the setting for "move it to the specified folder". Instead of teh correct name, each rule says "specified folder". Any ideas? |

Rules often don't survive a PST move. They might have survived had you exported them to a RWZ file, then imported that file on the destination PC. I think, at this point, you'll have to respecify those folders in the rules. -- Brian Tillman [MVP-Outlook] |
