Put your pst-file in a convenient place like My Document\My Outlook
Create your new mail profile by starting Outlook and following on-screen
instructions or Control Panel-> Mail
Close Outlook
Go to Control Panel-> Mail
Press E-mail Accounts-> Next
Press New Outlook Data File-> OK
Browse to the location of your restored pst-file
Set it as your default delivery location
Close the Mail applet and start Outlook
