Question asked on Jul 27, 2013
How can I convert an ANSI formatted .pst to Unicode formatted .pst? I created the ANSI .pst's from Outlook 2002 for Windows, and I attempted to import the .pst files into Outlook 2011 for Mac. It appears that only Unicode formatted .pst files can be imported. The "Help" says just export the Outlook files from Outlook 2003 or later. That is NOT helpful, because I don't have access to Outlook 2003 or later. 

A conversion program I downloaded can't convert the files unless I have Outlook 2003 or later for Windows installed. That means it is useless to me.

Can anyone advise me how to proceed

Thanks!
