Calendar Organizers Lost after Migration from Outlook 2002 to Outlook 2007

[Peter Houstle]

After importing pst file from Outlook 2002 to Outlook 2007, none of the original meeting organizers are recognized in my calendar so updates cannot be received without re-creating and re-sending the meeting notice. Additionally, all meeting subject fields are include the word "Copy:" at the beginning - editable, but annoying just the same. Is there a graceful way to update? Thank you!.

What type of email account do you use?

Why did you import? You should open the old pst in outlook then move the
items to the new pst in outlook. However, I think you'll still lose updates
on meetings unless you keep the old pst as your default message store (not
recommended).

I'm running both Pop3 and IMAP accounts (no Exchange). Tried running with the 2002 pst file, but kept having max size problems. Used import option based on scan of MS support recommendations re best practices for migration from 2002 to 2007. Messages, folders, meetings, tasks, etc. all rode in very nicely except for the "organizer" and related "copy:" issues.

Open the old pst in outlook 2007 and see if Move adds the Copy tag. (This
is a new feature in Outlook 2007 SP2).
