I don't know for sure, but I suspect it must be closed.

Re: export WLM emails to Outlook?

I can't reproduce this issue, I can successfully export both Inbox and Sent
Items from WLM to Outlook 2007. Outlook 2003 and 2007 use Unicode format
..PST files and have a size limit on the order of 20 GB. There is no
convenient way to convert an old (ANSI) format .PST file into a Unicode
..PST; the simplest way to do this is to drag everything out of an old file
and drop it into a new format file. It doesn't matter if Outlook is open or
closed, the transfer process will start up whatever Outlook modules are
needed.
