Is there a way to combine two OL folders? At present I have 2 separate
archive files. They came from another computer and why there are two is a
long and crazy story which probably is not material here. I cannot seem to
figure out how to combine them. That is, get the data out of one and put in
in with the other folder's data. The intended result: Just one archive
folder. Can it be done?

To be more exact, I have two separate archive PST folders, each covering a
different chronological period. Each contains Inbox, Sent Items, etc.
(They are folders, too, right?) I want to end up with just one archive pst
file containing both Inbox and Sent Items but covering what is now spread
out in the two PST archive folders

Open both PST files with Outlook, select all messages from one Inbox
folder, then drag-and-drop it into the other file's Inbox folder. Repeat
for each folder you want to combine.

Use right-click drag-and-drop to select between Copy and Move.

P.S. I would make a backup of both PST files before you start, just in
case...
