Outlook 2003 Data File Into Outlook 2007 ?

Hi:

I do not use Outlook, but a quick internet search turned up these articles that might explain how to accomplish the migration from 2003 to 2007:

NOTE: Mainstream support for MS Office 2007 SP3 ended in 2012. Extended support ends in Oct 2017:

So, if you're going to go to all the trouble to upgrade and migrate your data, you might want to consider doing so into a supported version of Office, such as 2010, 2013, 2016 or Office 365.

Hope this helps,
MM

Hi:

Were you able to perform the upgrade/migration?

It's certainly up to you about moving to 2007. Trading a "dead" email client for a soon-to-be-dead one seems like a lot of work.
I certainly understand the inertia factor and the potential cost factor to move to a supported version of MS Office. And no software application can provide 100% protection against 100% of malware these days or a substitute for safe computing practices.

But -- performance enhancements in new versions aside -- outdated productivity software, especially an old email client, does create significant security vulnerability. Emails are a primary means of malware transmission. Ransomware in particular is very nasty stuff that can cause complete data loss on a vulnerable system that lacks robust backups.
And several months from now, Office 2007 will stop getting even security patches from MS.

If cost is a major issue, there are several robust, free alternatives both to MS Office and to Outlook.
There are also several, excellent, paid email clients. All of these offer methods/procedures for importing/migrating Outlook data.

Again, it's entirely up to you, of course.:)

Cheers,
MM
