Can I subdivide a pst file?

I have Outlook 2003 on my personal computer and my business computer. Before
my e-mail was established for my new job, I used my personal e-mail for
correspondence with my new team members. At this point, I have about a 100 or
so e-mails that I need to transfer to my business computer. It would take a
long time to forward them one by one, and then they would no longer show up
on my inbox list with the actual senders name in the "From" column.

Is there any way to break out just that folder from Outlook's pst file and
copy it over to the Outlook on the other computer? Could I creat another
profile with the same e-mail address, move them into the new profile, and
copy that to the business computer?

Also, are all the e-mail and all of the contacts information in the same pst
file?

Thanks,
Mary Lee
 
Create a new PST file, open it with Outlook, then copy (drag and drop)
the items you want to transfer to the new PST. (You can use right-click
drag and drop, which gives you the option to Copy or Move.)

explains all the steps to do this? Nothing I can think of to do in either
Outlook or Explorer accomplishes this.

In Outlook go to File-New-Outlook Data File.....
 
OK - I made the new pst file, copied it to a storage device, and then copied
it into the proper folder on the new computer. Only when I open Outlook, the
folder is not there. Does it have to be exported and imported or something?
When I try that, I am not seeing options that make sense to me.

Thanks again.

In Outlook, go to File-Open-Outlook Data File and open it that way.
