The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2003
  • Microsoft Office Outlook 2003 with Business Contact Manager

SYMPTOMS

If you try to export your personal folders (.pst) file while you are synchronizing your offline folder with your mailbox, your .pst file only contains those items that were synchronized at the time of export.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs because Outlook 2003 can only export those items that have been synchronize to your offline folder in this situation. Outlook 2003 cannot access your mailbox as it was not designated for export.

WORKAROUND

To work around this behavior, you must wait until the synchronization between your offline folder and mailbox has completed before you export your offline folder to a local .pst file.
