You need to import that file. Do the following:
1-On the File menu, click Import and Export.
2-Click Import from another program or file, and then
click Next.
3-Click Personal Folder File (.pst), and then click Next.
In the File to import box, specify the path and file name
of the .pst file you want to import.
4-Choose one of the following:
a) Replace duplicates with items imported. If any existing
data in the folder that you are importing to duplicates
information in the .pst file, it will be overwritten with
the information in the .pst file.
b) Allow duplicate items to be created. Existing data in
the folder you are importing to will not be overwritten
with the information in the .pst file but will be kept
instead.
c) Do not import duplicate items. Existing data in the
folder you are importing to will be kept, and any
duplicate information in the .pst file will not be copied
to the folder.
5-Follow the remaining instructions in the Import and
Export Wizard. Microsoft Outlook copies the items from
the .pst into the folder you specify.

Don't forget to copy your .pst file to your hard drive if
it's on a cd, and remove the read-only property from the
file. I had problems before.
Good luck and let me know if it worked for you.

NEVER import a .pst unless you want your connections to
journal/contacts/activities broken, custom forms lost, received dates lost,
etc. Use file->open to get at old data that has been saved. If necessary,
then drag and drop between .pst files.
