After saving my existing Outlook 2003 PST file, I re-installed Windows XP
Pro SP2 on my notebook. Of course, I also had to re-install Outlook 2003.
Now I would like to Import and/or otherwise start using my "old" outlook.pst
file with my newly installed Outlook 2003. How can I accomplish this?

Ok, I seem to have figured out out to Point Outlook 2003 to a second
Personal Folders file (Outlook.pst on my D: drive), but now I have 2
personal folders appearing under the navigation panel on the left hand side
of my newly installed Outlook 2003. I only want the one, "old" personal
folders and I don't want the "new" largely empty personal folders.

Open your mail profile (Control Panel>User Accounts>Mail). Click the Data
Files button and point your profile at your old PST.
