Copy your 'old' PST file to the new computer - but choose anywhere = =3D you like. 2. Create a new profile in OL2003, and open the old PST in that profile. If you still have problems, I would create a fresh profile and IMPORT = =3D from your old PST file. I know this looses some stuff like rules, but... =3D = This is beta software... ;-) Incidentally, the Refresh of beta 2 is just out (or will be when they = =3D fix the overloaded d/l servers!), which is supposed to fix heaps of these = =3D kind of issues... One more point: While this is not proven as such, I found creating a new profile and new PST file AND choosing for that new PST file to be the = =3D new Unicode format, proved to be less problematic. But that may just be my experience...
