I've never seen importing a PST into another PST corrupt either PST. I have

seen ghost folders in the profile or other problems that were fixed with a new

profile, but the PSTs themselves are fine. DLs don't import well and

contact-calendar linkage may need recreating.

I'll never say "never" when it comes to Outlook, but no, importing a pst

created in 2000 to a 2007 pst will not corrupt the pst, except in rare cases

where there are already problems. It might corrupt the profile - this has

reportedly happened - but in many cases, I think the profile was already in

trouble.



What is worse for profiles is a favored method of reconnecting pst a few

years ago - create a profile, get the old pst and paste it over the new pst.

To avoid problems, connect it to the profile in Control panel, Mail. Same

goes for moving psts - move the pst then point the profile to the pst before

opening outlook. Don't wait for Outlook to ask where it is.

I thought you were gonna defer to the MVPs. Funny how that turns into

contradicting them, when they contradict you. Your nonexistent nym

sure lets you play games, doesn't it.

Alias did this same thing with Vista, commenting on it before he had

even installed it, making wild claims about it, all without even having

tried it - which he busted himself for a couple times.

When I acknowledged that weed is safer than booze, you will note that

I said "to a mature person". Obviously, when "snip bullshit" == "snip

the relevant part of the post where Alias' stupidity is shown", and

you make some totally lame comeback about how he said "Windows", you

need to cool it with the THC.



You may be older, but you ain't wiser.

But I did. When I was working the 2003 Beta I tried importing from my OL2000 and it

became corrupted along with the profile. I am basing my answer on that .

Thanks for both your inputs. But as I posted to Leythos I was basing my answer on

BETA, you've got to be kidding - why would you base your reply on BETA

software, that's something I would expect from Alias, not you.

Don't compare beta behavior to RTM - without knowing which exact beta build

its hard to say why it happened. It's just not a common occurrence and is

highly unlikely to happen. Its certainly not risky enough for me to tell

someone not to do it.

So why are there NUMEROUS posts in many Outlook groups saying that there ARE

problems when export and import is used?

And why would anyone export FROM a pst file TO a pst file? What's the point?

 

[Diane Poremsky [MVP]]

There are many points... I believe I went over some of them with you

previously.



Show me one post where it actually resulted in a CORRUPTED PST?



Corrupted profiles, yes... but remember, we only see the reports where it

caused problems, not the millions of times it actually worked as expected.

Done right, the profile will not corrupt.



It should never be used for back up of the entire pst or moving between the

same version of outlook (copy the pst instead and point the new profile to

the copied pst). If you need just the calendar and contacts (or a few

folders) or are changing versions or pst formats, them its fine and the

simplest method for many users. Experts can (and often do) use other methods

(like open and Move) but not all users are experts and Import meets their

KISS standard.

Absolutely - but there's no logical reason for doing it to and from the SAME

format of pst file..

Not at all. There's absolutely NO NEED to import in the first place. Do you

IMPORT Word or Excel documents when changing computers? Of course not - you

OPEN them. Same with Outlook data.

Word and Excel don't operate the same way - blows your analogy out of

the water.

You should try doing things in the real world before you go posting

about them.



I've done this thousands of times, different versions, same versions,

exporting disconnected Exchange cached Outlook data into a new exchange

system.... not a single error/corruption.
