Hi,

A .pst file is an Outlook file, not an Outlook Express file (which uses
..dbx). They are not interchangable. To use one, it must be imported into the
program.

dele,

You need to set either your time or time zone, you are posing in the future,
which can cause problems. . .beyond those of making some of the readers of
the newsgroups unhappy.

A pst file is an Outlook file, not Outlook Express. OE uses dbx files. If
you are using Outlook with a pst, right click the file and go to properties.
Be sure the "Read only" box is NOT checked.
