Yours qualifies however.

An overreaction? I don't see any flame from "the other side". His case
is well-argued and indicates a problem with .pst upgrade that may well
not have been identified before, nor is likely to be given much
attention, given that he's starting from such an old .pst file and that
it's an interop problem (not Microsoft's forte IME).

As you teach Outlook, please be sure to tell others to avoid using the
import feature if their data is already in Outlook format. Importing
PST's will lose:
1. Custom Forms
2. Custom Views
3. Connections between contacts and activities
4. Received dates on mail
5. Birthdays and anniversaries in calendar
6. Journal connections
7. Distribution Lists

It will also often corrupt the profile if done incorrectly (which many
manage to do). Opening a PST file will preserve all of these. That is
why we do not advise people to import a native file into Outlook.
