there are over 21,000 messages in one folder alone.
another has 18,000.
they overlap, not starting or ending at expected time/dates.
it is humanly impossible to OPEN them, and then manually merge them and move
the messages back and forth between the two to get one conolidated.
if let's say, one ended at a date, where the other one started, OR, they
overlapped 100% over a period of time, the above suggestion works. open one,
drag and drop the non-overlapping messages into the other. the problem is
that the overlap is not as clean ...
There are also Notes, and Addresses, and ....
HENCE THE REQUEST FOR MERGE.
If it was a simple open file and drag, or copy messages from one to the
other, I would have done it! If all merging was that simple and a few dozen
messages, I wonder why microsoft even offered an IMPORT without DUPLICATE
feature, which of course if it worked, we would not be having this
conversation, would we?
now what was it that you think i missed?

That is MOVING or LOADING it is, as I would an Archive file.
The PST files are overlapping and need to be MERGED!

Folks,
I have a number of .PST files that I need to merge into one. How can I do
it?
I used the IMPORT feature to avoid duplicates but it caused a known
problem
and created a DUPLICATE Profile, which took a bit of effort to get rid of.
Are there any tools out there that you can take multiple PST files and
merge
them all into one?
Cheers,
Bahram Saghari
