Default

You have installed Outlook and created a new profile which has created the initial PST file. Then you have opened the original PST file, so now you have two open. You need to copy any data from the first to the second. Make the second both the default and the data store for your messages and then close the new (first) PST file. Then you will have one.

Default 2 pst files

Hi Graham,
Thanks, I would be delighted to merge them.
So to be clear you want me to copy from the very large first pst ("Outlook" profile) to the small second pst ("Outlook Data File" profile, which just has a few empty folders)?
If so, do I drag each folder over?
If so, do I delete duplicate folders (eg Inbox, Drafts, Sent, Deleted) in small profile, before copying from large profile?
Thanks, Sid
