I have a whole bunch of local (not on server) emails in Outlook 2001 on my
Mac which can be seen and read properly. I want to import them into
Entourage 2004. The Outlook Importer Tool which I downloaded refuses to open
the PST files because it says they're improperly formatted. Maybe I've got
the wrong thing as the PST file though. Can someone tell me how, given that
I see the right thing in Outlook 2001, I generate and find a PST file from
those messages that Entourage 2004 will read?
If you have Outlook 2001 you _must_ have an Exchange account on an Exchange
sever, because otherwise you could not run Outlook 2001. You're going to
have to to copy the messages to the server in Outlook 2001. Then access them
from within Entourage 2004, having set up your exchange account there. In
Entourage, move (or copy) the messages to local folders "On My Computer".
Done - no importer needed.
Also, I noticed in the instructions for the PST Import Tool, the
following:
To diagnose and repair a corrupt PST file by using Inbox Repair Tool in
Windows
1 In Windows, click Start, and then click Windows Explorer.
2 In the C:\Program Files\Common Files\System\MSMAPI\1033 folder,
double-click Scanpst.exe.
3 In Inbox Repair Tool, click Browse.
4 Locate the PST file you want to diagnose, and then click OK.
5 Click Start.
If there are no errors, the file can be imported by using the PST Import
Tool.
6 For details on errors in the PST file, click Details.
7 Select the Make a backup of scanned file before repairing check
box.
8 Click Repair.
The PST file is repaired and can now be imported into Entourage 2004 by
using the PST Import Tool.
I did that - it claimed it found 2 errors, and claimed to have fixed them.
I then brought the file back to the Mac, but PST Import Tool still refused
to import it...
