How do I import e-mail from another user's outlook.pst file?

I accidently deleted a user. Since there is no way to restore a deleted
user, I created another user and copied all the files to the new user's
folder.

Now, I have a problem. How do I import e-mail from the deleted user to the
new user?Any suggestion?
 
Don't import.

1) Save the "real" PST file someplace like c:\data\outlook (presuming
c:\data is where
you are storing all your files) - and if you're wise, you'll rename the file
to yourname.pst.
2) Set up Outlook on the new PC by doubleclicking on it and setting up your
email accounts. It will create a new outlook.pst file; don't worry about it.
Close outlook.
3) In Windows Explorer, do a search for *.pst (make sure you're viewing all
hidden/system folders, too, depending on your OS). When you find the new
outlook.pst, delete it.
4. Open Outlook. When it complains it can't find the PST file, browse to
c:\data\outlook\yourname.pst.
