AFAIK exporting an Exchange email account to a pst does not export the
calendar, contacts or tasks.
Have you still got access to the Exchange account?

no i don't, the exchange server went down and the boss said to just scrap it.
so there is absolutely no way to get that info because its not there correct.

Exporting everything from the .ost to the .pst includes all default plus
created folders so, yes, Tasks, Calendar, etc. should have all come over.

To the OP, do you still have your .ost file on your computer?

Hi,
You mean the OutLook 2003?
I have met the same problem some days before. I found a good tool
called Advanced Outlook Repair. You can download a free demo version
at http://www.datanumen.com/aor/aor.exe . I think it is a useful
repair tool for you. It is easy to recover your PST file by using its
wizard. It is a powerful tool to recover messages, folders and other
objects from corrupt or damaged Microsoft Outlook PST files.

Detailed information about Advanced Outlook Repair can be found at
