Importing old Outlook messages into Outlook 2007

[DT]

My Outlook messages from Outlook 2000 are spread over several Archive
and PST files, due in part to the 2GB limit on PST file sizes in
Outlook 2000. I gather Outlook 2007 has no such limit, so I'd like to
consolidate all my old emails into the Archives file in Outlook 2007.
However, the File/Import & Export function doesn't seem to have an
option for importing from PST files (as Outlook 2000 did). Can anyone
advise me on how to do this?

Never import .pst files - Use File->Open->Outlook data file from Outlook's file options.
