MS Office Forum / Outlook / New Users / May 2006Can a pst file be opened?
A customer has tried to open a pst file and has encountered an error message about adding non-Unicode store to his profile. Is it safe to open this pst file? Thanks Yes, nothing bad will happen if he opens it, but he will incur data loss if he tries to move items from a Unicode store into it.

Best practice would be to migrate the content of the old .pst file into a new .pst using the new format.

Was it an error or a warning?
