Hi SCCues,
I faced the same ‘problem’, but found out a simple way to tackle it. First I made a copy of my old PST file (there is all the data you saved in Outlook; emails, appointments, rules etc.) and put it in a save place (you can burn it on a CD for example). When I opened Outlook 2003 for the first time, I cancelled al the operations and closed Outlook. Then I deleted the PST file Outlook 2003 created, and opened Outlook again. Now it cannot find the PST file and it asks to locate the PST file. Here you point out to your old PST file with all the data and you are ready. Maybe you have to make a few adjustments, but you will find the folders you made and your emails. You don’t have to start the rules wizard because there still effective, though you have activate (some of) them.
