But there are some issues concerning MS Outlook versions you should know before migrating using ABF Outlook Backup:

1.	You can always move data from an older to a higher version of Outlook without limitations.

2.	You can move data from Outlook XP to Outlook 2000.

3.	You can move data from Outlook 2007 to Outlook 2003, except IMAP accounts.

4.	You can not move data from Outlook 2003/2007 to Outlook 2000/XP
