Corrupted email rules when moving pst file Outlook 2003 to 2007

[Rudymill]

Computer w/ XPpro, Outlook 2003. Copied the pst file onto a zip drive.

Uploaded in onto a computer w XPpro, Outlook 2007 and put the pst file into
a directory under My Documents.

Opened Outlook 2007. Used file/open/outlook data file and opened the new
pst file.

Went to tools/account settings, and set the new pst file as the default
delivery for email. Then on the same tab, I used remove to close the old
folder.

I now have one data folder open, the correct one. But all the email rules
now are corrupted: they all are have lost the setting for "move it to the
specified folder". Instead of teh correct name, each rule says "specified
folder".

Any ideas?

Rules often don't survive a PST move. They might have survived had you
exported them to a RWZ file, then imported that file on the destination PC.
I think, at this point, you'll have to respecify those folders in the rules.
