How do I import emails saved to a disc in .pst format?

Exactly how you think you would, File > Import and Export > Import from
another program or file > etc. The key is that the pst has to be able to be
written to, so if it's on a CD, copy it to your C: drive first, and turn off
the read-only attribute before importing.

Peter,
Thank you. I will try that. I tried Open>file data> in Outlook, but was
denied permission to access the data on the disk when I got to it. How do I
turn off the read-only attribute?

You don't. You open the file in Outlook with File>Open>Outlook Data File.
NEVER export to or import from a PST. You will lose data.

Copy the file to your hard drive, right-click, choose Properties, and
uncheck Read Only.

Firstly, do NOT use the import/export function when dealing with pst files.
that is the fastest way to a corrupted pst file - the function is meant for
transferring data to and from third-party applications such as Excel and
Access.
Copy the pst file to your HDD. Do NOT overwrite the existing file.
Right-click and choose Properties. Then remove the Read-only attribute
check mark.
then, in Outlook, go to File-Open-Outlook Data File.

Whether I would be or not is immaterial. He will, however.
