Outlook 2003 will not export all pst files

[Moe]

I am try to export all of the emai file in outlook 2003 so i can
import it into a new computer. When i went to import it into the new
computer i was missing 6 months of email and 6 months of sent file. I
just went to file Import/Export and selected export and then
selected .pst and the selected Personl file and checked all subfolders
and told it to export it to My downloads folders. I then put it on a
jump drive and went to the new computer and went to outlook and told
it to import the pst file and i am missing date 5/07 and 11/07. Does
any one know how to fix this issue?

As posted here and on all the Outlook groups on a daily basis - do NOT use
the import/export function to move data from one Outlook to another!

Why would you ever use export and import to transfer Outlook data? You have
no need to convert to some other file format. You have an Outlook data file
already. Just open your Outlook data file in your other installation. If you
use export and import, you will make mistakes and lose data. Won't you?
