Emails saved into Tasks and also my system folders will not open

[Trevor]

I save my important emails into my system folders so that my PST file doesn't
get too massive.

I did this all the time with outlook 2003, I got a new laptop and the
Outlook 2003 on this machine will not open those files!!! When I double
click on them, the outlook program icon in the tak bar flashes 3 times like
it did when it worked, but then, the message is nowhere to be found. The
same goes for emails that I move to the task list. I cannot re-open them!!!
What is up? Every other function works well.

Hello Trevor,

It is important to know how you have exported the pst file .
you have to export only as pst then only you will be able to import.

Describe how you're trying to open the files. You must start Outlook and
then use File>Open>Outlook Data File to open them. Ignore anyone who tells
you to use import or export.
