Since Outlook 2003, a new PST file format is introduced that has many more
advantages than the old one. The new format is also called Unicode format
commonly, while the old format is then called ANSI format accordingly. Both
names will be used throughout this guide.

Although the new format is much more better than the old one, sometimes
(mostly
for compatibility reasons) you still need to convert the PST file in the new
Unicode format into the old ANSI format. For example, you want to transfer the
PST data from a computer with Outlook 2003-2010 to one with only Outlook
97-2002
installed.

There are lots of tool available in the web market to convert Unicode .pst
file
to ANSI .pst file format or vise-versa. There is a third party tool name
"SysInfoTools PST Upgrade and Downgrade" is the best utility to
convert PST file format, i.e. Non-Unicode PST files to Unicode PST files or
vice
versa Unicode PST files to Non-Unicode PST files.
