You will always lose data when converting to another format. Outlook uses a
proprietary database and the same is true of any other proprietary database.
If someone wants to convert their data to a different format, they need to
understand some information will be lost. Most users know that.

Archiving is not the same as backing up either.
Bottom line: if you want to transfer Outlook data, you copy your data
file. Anything else loses or changes data.

Not a bug. End user error.
In no way is syncing to a PDA even remotely the same as backing up
and restoring Outlook data.
Next time copy your Outlook data file and open it in the new
installation.

I have had this problem in Vista Ultimate and now in Windows 7 Pro.

When I upgraded to W7 (clean install) from Vista Ultimate I imported
my contacts from my BlackBerry to Outlook 2007. Everything imported
OK except for the Colors for the Categories. Is this a bug or what?
The same thing happened in Vista upgrading from XP.

Any ideas???
