Hi

I have used a PST file from Outlook 2003 in the older Outlook 2002.
Everything seems to work except the rules that i had in the 2003 version
can't be deleted. I can disable them, but it would be nice to get rid of
them completely.
Any ideas how i do this?

I'm presuming this was a non-Unicode PST file, then - as OL2002 & prior
can't read 'new format' PST files.

What errors do you get when you try to remove them?

I'm not sure what you mean by non-Unicode file, and where to look for this.
Everything else in this PST file is working 100%, calendar, contacts, mails,
notes, tasks (filesize is app 700 MB).

None. The Delete (and all other, except New) button is simply just grayed
out so i can't select it.
