Try to do an Import from the file menu

NOOOO! Do not try it from an import. Just browse to the old .pst file and
use File->Open. You can then drag and drop your files to the new .pst
(although I would recommend using the old one and drag and drop your new
stuff to the old one.)

Reason? importing loses important information, received dates, for example.
It also breaks custom forms, linkages between Journal and contacts, etc.
