How do I allow a PST folder to accept Unicode?
 

I tried creating a rule that would transfer messages with the Personal
category from Inbox & Sent Items to a PST folder on my local hard drive. I
got a warning message that the folder does not support Unicode, and that
moving Unicode messages to this folder could cause loss of information.

How do I make the PST folder amenable to accept Unicode messages, to avoid
the risk of losing information?

Oops, I should have read Help first.

What you have to do is create a new folder in the new format, which supports
Unicode, then use the File Import/Export feature to transfer folders from the
old folder to the new. The whole procedure is detailed quite nicely in a
Help item entitled "Convert a non-Unicode data file (.pst) to a Unicode data
file (.pst)".

NEVER use export/import to move data PST-to-PST. SImply copy the data.

But what if I did already? What can happen?
