I am trying to migrate my data from an old machine running Outlook 2002 to a
new machine running Outlook 2003. I can export the file from the old
machine to a jumpdrive and plug it in to my new machine, but when I try to
import the file nothing happens. I can go all the way through the
Import/Export Wizard and hit Finish, but the data is not in my Personal
Folders. Do you have any idea where I might be going wrong? Thanks.

DO NOT import unless you want your Outlook profile corrupted. Move your
Outlook message store file from the old computer to the new one and reuse
it:

Reconnect your old Outlook data file

Thanks for the reply. Does this take into account that the two .pst files
are in a different format? thanks.

You can continue to use your old (ANSI format) .PST file, or you can copy
(NOT Import) your data from the old .PST file to a new Unicode format .PST
file.

how does one copy from the old PST to the new uniocde one?
is it just a matter of dragging the folders over from one to the other?

Thanks!

For the non-default folders, yes. For the default folders, no. The method
has been posted numerous times. See:
