I'm trying to import my pst file created by Outlook XP into a new pst file
(for increased capacity) created in Outlook 2007 which I just installed. An
error comes up saying this pst file is already in use in this profile. How do
I work around this?
 
Nevermind. I tried removing the source file from Outlook (after making a copy
of it just in case). Then I was able to import its data into the new pst file
just fine.

Do not import. Just open the old PST with File>Open>Outlook Data File and copy
the contents of each folder to its corresponding folder in the default PST.
