"xyz is not a personal folders file" while trying to import ??

[Munish Garg]

I recently chnaged my xp machine to another XP machine , backing up my emails
to a .pst file.

I am trying to import the .pst into Outlook and I keep getting the error
"The file C:\Email\Backup.pst is not a personal folders file"

I am using the same exact version of Office 2002 on my XP machine that I was
using on my previous XP machine.

When I setup Outlook on my new machine, I specified New Outlook Data File to
be a .pst file and to deliver new email to Personal Folders.


Any suggestions?

Import? Have you tried simply to use File / Open / Data file for Outlook
(.pst)?
If you succeed with that, you can move whatever content you want from the
opened pst file into your new installation.

Hi;

I have the problem with my computer. I already tried. It doesn't work?

Any other suggestions??

Thanks

Then whatever method you used to create that PST damaged it and it is not
usable. How did you create it? How did you transport it to the other PC?
