I have run in to a similar problem excluding the Office 2007 reference. I
had an error message accessing my Outlook (2000) mailbox. I had downloaded
email, went back to check messages a little later & got an error message
that I needed to repair the mailbox using the Inbox Repair Tool. I ran that
& then created a new profile & was able to restore my calendar, inbox,
contacts, etc. What I'm now finding is that I can now no longer synch my
palm Z22 with the new calendar, contacts, etc.
In reading the description below, is it NOT synching because I did not
right-click to close the old .pst (personal) folders showing in my "folder
list" view within Outlook 2000? The new profile DOES show "Outlook Today"
when I click on the primary folder - "Personal Folders" - in this newly
created list; the "inbox" is active and receives downloaded emails, etc. I
just can't get the "synch" to work.
What happens to the old "personal folders" that you right-click to close?
Is any remaining information there deleted?
Your clarification and information is much appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Never import from a PST. You lose data and it's unncessary.
I have even tried manually replacing the Outlook.pst file in
c:\users\user\appdata\local\microsoft\outlook by
renaming the current .pst to .old, and copying the Office 2000 .pst
into its place.
A good way to guarantee damaging your mail profile.
Create a new mail profile and a new PST. Then open the old OL 2000 PST
with File>Open>Outlook Data File. All of its data should become available
to you. Display your Navigation Pane in the Folder List view so you see
all folders. For each non-default folder in the old PST, right-click and
drag it to the root of the new PST (Outlook Today), choosing Copy. For
each default folder (i.e., the ones Outlook created for you), open the old
folder and select all the items in it with CTRL-A. Right-click and drag
the selection to the corresponding default folder in the new PST, choosing
Copy. For the calendar, you'll have to view the folder in a table view
like By Category before CTRL-A will select all items.
When you're done copying, right-click the root of the old PST and choose
Close to remove it from the mail profile.
