Can you merge 2 PST files?

[Guest]

I have 2 computers, and both access the same email accounts. We are getting
rid of one of the computers, but don't want to lose the data (calendar, mail
and contacts) from it. Is there a way to merge the PST files onto the
surviving computer?

Yes. Open both ad drag the contents of one to the other.

Thanks, Bill - just want to clarify what you mean by "open both" - what do
you mean by "open"? - if I double-click on the PST file, Windows asks me what
program I want to open it with. Or do you mean open the folder that they are
in, and then drag and drop one onto the other?
