I can't seem to open my email files from Outlook 2003 in Outlook 2002 or 2000.
I have imported the .pst file & it kept showing error.
Is there any way to get this work?

Outlook 2003, by default, creates a .pst in a format cannot be read by
previous versions of Outlook (but which supports much larger .pst files and
also supports all languages). To move your messages to previous version of
Outlook you'll need to create a new "Outlook 97-2002 Personal Folders File"
(Tools -> Options -> Mail Setup -> Data Files... -> Add ...) and drag
messages from your current pst to the new one.

Nope. The only thing you can do is to create an Outlook 97-2002 format PST
in Outlook 2003 and then copy to it the items you wish to move to the
earlier version. That PST you can copy and have the earlier Outlook open.
