Outlook 2002 Notes imported from .pst file
I attempted to import data from a .pst file (I only noticed two on the old
computer: backup.pst and backup2.pst) from a previous computer. Both computers have Outlook 2002. The import was successful in restoring my contacts, but I had several folders in the notes section and they are all missing. Is there another file extension other than .pst that would have the notes? Is there something I didn't do properly with the import. I followed the instructions of the import wizard and it all seemed pretty straight forward, but only brought in some of the information I expected. |

Outlook 2002 Notes imported from .pst file
You never import native Outlook data. You open the .pst file in Outlook using File-Open-Outlook Data file. Then copy your items to your default .pst file and close the unneeded one.

Outlook 2002 Notes imported from .pst file
I tried doing that, but the notes section still came up blank. I thought
maybe the import corrupted something, so I resaved the backup onto my desktop from it's original source, deleted the contacts that had imported before, and tried to open the file as you instructed. Now Outlook is completely blank without even the contacts. Any thoughts? "Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook]" wrote: You never import native Outlook data.
