Recover from Outlook Beta 2003

[Al]

I removed the Beta version of outlook 2003. Before I
removed it I exported up my mail to a .pst file. When I
installed Outlook XP and went to open it, it said it was
incompatible..Now I lost all my mail ??

Reinstall the beta, opt to create a new 97-2002 compatible .pst file. Drag
and drop items from the new to the old. Then uninstall and you should be
able to use the .pst file.

BTW, just curious... when you opted to change to the new Unicode format, did
you read the warning?
