|| Rename the .old file to .pst and change the name to something like
|| newoutlook.pst. Open it in Outlook - drag and drop the files from
|| the newoutlook.pst to the current .pst file. Then right click on
|| the root of that folder and select "close."

||
||| Thank you! That worked beautifically!
||| Afraid I have a follow-on.....I found 3 .pst files on the old drive;
||| one labeled "archive" and 2 labeled "outlook". I copied over the
||| larger of the 2 named "outlook" and got all my saved e-mails (and
||| address book!) up to Jan. 5th.
||| I'm being greedy here.....can i get back the e-mails between
||| 1/5/2006 and today?
||| Are the missing emails in the .pst file I renamed to "OLD"? Any way
||| to merge these into one 'before' letting Outlook know about them?
|||
||| Thanks again
|||
|||| Do NOT import, simply copy the .pst file from the old drive to the
|||| new drive - do NOT overwrite your current .pst file. Rename the
|||| current .pst file to .old. Open Outlook and navigate to the
|||| location of your saved file when Outlook complains about a missing
|||| .pst file and open it.
