Using a non-default pst in Outlook AdvancedSearch

[Gerald Shapiro]

I can run AdvancedSearch using a scope of (for example) "Inbox", which
has a folderpath of "\\Personal Folders\Inbox", corresponding, I guess,
to the outlook.pst file.

I have imported a large number of messages to another pst file, but
advancedsearch fails on any version of the scope that I could try, eg
the folder name, "ABC" and the folderpath "\\Imported\ABC" . I also
tried adding the pst to the namespace with addstore, but no joy.

Any ideas what else I can try?

The data store must be visible in the folder list -- either manually or with
AddStore -- and the scope needs to include the full path. I don't think it
needs leading slashes, though.
