You do NOT export FROM a pst file TO a pst file. Why should you? The ONLY time you need to use EXPORT is when you are transferring Exchange email to a pst file. Neither do you IMPORT when opening the old pst file in a new version of Outlook. Here is why import/export is wrong: (Courtesy of Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook]) Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a ghost PST that you can’t close. Importing PST’s will lose: 1. Custom Forms 2. Custom Views 3. Connections between contacts and activities 4. Received dates on mail 5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar 6. Journal connections 7. Distribution Lists Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise people to import a native file into Outlook. Sorry – your method is PLAIN WRONG.

Importing an entire PST may well corrupt your profile and may create a ghost
PST that you can’t close. Importing PST’s will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is why we do not advise
people to import a native file into Outlook.
