3 pst files

[Virginia]

I want to have 3 pst files on my Outlook 2003 setup. Is this possible? I have
the pst file that I work now and 2 others which are pst files from an old
laptop which I want just to be there as separate. How can I do it and shall I
do Import or is there any other way.

thanks
Virginia

Don't use the import feature. Simply reconnect the pst-files via;
File-> Open-> Outlook Data File...

You can place the pst-file in a location that is convenient to you. For
instance in a sub folder of your My Documents folder called "Outlook".

Then you point it to the location of the pst-file that you want to connect
to.
If you use Import, everything is going to be imported into your default
folder set instead of being shown as a separate folder set.

If you've made a backup of your original pst-file from just before you used
the Import function, you should restore that pst-file to undo the import
process.
