Importing Encrypted Folders

Guest

I have got a offline personal folder that has compressible encryption on it.
I need to get the folder off of my old laptop and to my new laptop. How does
one remove the encryption? When I tried it yesterday, it constantly said that
I did not have permission to import it into my Outlook on my new laptop.

Thanks in advance.

Unless you passworded the file, it should simply open. Make sure it didn't
becomes set READ ONLY when you moved it to the new laptop. Note that no
Export/Import operations are required for this, Just copy the .PST file from
the old laptop to the new one.

unfortunately the file is passworded. i've tried removing the password
protection, by making the password a blank, but i still got a "you do not
have permission to open this file" error.

Do you mean an ordinary PST or do you really mean "offline personal
folders", as in OST? If the latter, you can't import it into another
instance of Outlook without first using a third-party tool to convert it to
a PST.

Make sure you've removed the read-only attribute.
