Merge PST files?

[Bob]

My main computer will be down for a couple of weeks but I want to use
Outlook (2010) on the stand-in. After I get my old computer back will
I be able to merge the 2 weeks worth of mail on the temp machine to my
original PST file?

Thanks... Bob

Too bad the results of your not very clever lmgtfy trip are so old they
call the .pst file .mailbox. If you don't know the answer, don't reply.

People should learn to do a little searching for themselves

You are wrong. You are not clever. The results of a Google search can be
disastrous if you follow the wrong advice offered by some of the search
results.

When you get your main computer back, copy the .pst file from the stand
in to a pen drive and then copy and paste it somewhere in your main
computer. Open Outlook. File/Open/Outlook Date file and browse to the
..pst file you just pasted to your main computer. Once it's open, move
the new emails to wherever you want them to be in the old .pst file.
Close the file by right clicking on the root of the .pst file from the
stand in computer and choosing close. You can now delete .pst file that
you just closed.

You could also say that the results could be disastrous if you follow the
wrong advice offered by some individuals, to include Peter Taylor.

True but the advice I gave in the thread is correct and you're more
likely to get good advice here than looking round Google. Some of the
results your Google search provided included importing the .pst file
which is a very bad idea.

The OP doesn't know that

More likely, yes...but not always

I agree that importing a .pst file is a bad idea. It can corrupt the
file. It is best to copy it directly to the destination. This has been
known for a loooong time. Why then does MS not show a warning when
attempting to import a .pst file ? (This is a rhetorical question). Then
again, there are MANY sites obtained from a Google search that will advise
against importing a .pst file.
