importing PST backup files to a new Outlook installation

Okay, take a deep breath and step back a little. First, you need to make
sure that you are the E-mail Service Option that you are trying to get the
"second .pst" file into is running with the E-mail Service Option as
"Corporate or Workgroup" NOT "Internet Only" (use > Help > About Microsoft
Outlook to determine the E-mail Service Option that you are running). If you
are running the "Internet Only" option, you can only see one .pst file at a
time and will be unable to open the second .pst file to move/copy the
calendar over. Use the Tools > Options > Mail Services tab > Reconfigure
Mail Support button to change from "Internet Only" to "Corporate or
Workgroup" option (NOTE: you MUST have the Office CD to complete this
reconfiguration).
After you are in the "Corporate of Workgroup" option mode, you need to "Add"
a "Personal Folders" in the Tools > Services > Services tab. Just locate
your "second .pst" in "my documents" - where you copied the "original .pst
file to - when it wants to Open/Create the new Personal File that you are
trying to create. You can then follow the instructions about copying the
contents of one contact folder in the "second .pst file" to the original .pst
file.
Hope these instructions help. If not, let me know where you're having
problems and I'll trying to get you pointed in the correct direction. If I
can do it (and I did), you really can do it too.

Please provide the instructions for opening a second .pst file in Outlook
2000 when using the Internet Only E-mail Service Option. Thanks.

You can have as many .pst files open in either mode.

| Okay, take a deep breath and step back a little. First, you need to
| make sure that you are the E-mail Service Option that you are trying
| to get the "second .pst" file into is running with the E-mail Service
| Option as "Corporate or Workgroup" NOT "Internet Only" (use > Help >
| About Microsoft Outlook to determine the E-mail Service Option that
| you are running). If you are running the "Internet Only" option, you
| can only see one .pst file at a time and will be unable to open the
| second .pst file to move/copy the calendar over. Use the Tools >
| Options > Mail Services tab > Reconfigure Mail Support button to
| change from "Internet Only" to "Corporate or Workgroup" option (NOTE:
| you MUST have the Office CD to complete this reconfiguration).
| After you are in the "Corporate of Workgroup" option mode, you need
| to "Add" a "Personal Folders" in the Tools > Services > Services tab.
| Just locate your "second .pst" in "my documents" - where you copied
| the "original .pst file to - when it wants to Open/Create the new
| Personal File that you are trying to create. You can then follow the
| instructions about copying the contents of one contact folder in the
| "second .pst file" to the original .pst file.
| Hope these instructions help. If not, let me know where you're having
| problems and I'll trying to get you pointed in the correct direction.
