How do start a new Outlook PST file?

[Minh]

I am having so much problems ever since moving my
outlook.pst and archive.pst file over from one machine to
another. Problems include not being to delete some
messages and not being able to archive.

Anyway, now all I want to do is to start anew with a brand
new outlook.pst file. The question is how can I still
access email messages on my existing outlook.pst file?

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Creating a new .pst file directions depends on the version of Outlook you
have, which you neglected to mention.

Also, before doing this, have you tried Detect and Repair and/or running the
In-box Repair Tool (scanpst.exe)?

Sorry I forgot to mention that I am running Outlook 2003.

Already tried scanpst a few times to no avail.

Starting a new .pst file is understood. But I still want
to have access to my old email (current outlook.pst file)
from time to time.
