When importing a .pst file from a business-related email account, it was
mistakenly merged with the existing Inbox, Sent Items, etc. folders of my
personal email account in Outlook's default "Personal Folders." How do I
undo that import action?

Also, how do I then import that .pst file to a separate "Personal Folder"
that I will name "Business Email Account?" I want to organize separate
folders for the personal and business email accounts.

Help!
 
You dont import the pst, if you wish to keep it as a seperate pst, You
simply open it in OL.
I dont believe there is any undo option.
The often used method to seperate accounts is to create sub folders, and
then use rules to 'send' mail to the appropriate folder

You find all the items you imported and delete them. There is no "undo" for
an import.

Import will only import into the default delivery location folders. Don't
ever use import to import a pst. Just use File>Open>Outlook Data File (or
Personal Folders File, depending on version), browse to the PST, select it,
and click OK. Then, change it's properties
(right-click>Properties>Advanced:Name) to name it "Business Email Account".
