Because you are using POP, which removes emails from the server once they are downloaded, this is going to get very messy.

Before you start - Make a backup of the original PST you brought over from your old PC and put it someplace outside the normal Outlook directories. e.g. "C:\OlkBackup".

Create a new, no email Profile. Name it something like "Consolidated". Change your settings to "Prompt for a profile to be used".

In Outlook, using the Consolidated Profile, start adding your POP accounts. During setup for all of them, tell it to use the same, original PST you brought over from the old PC. Follow these instructions. NOTE - If it doesn't let you get to the "Advanced Setup" screen and tries to setup the account automatically you will have to use the "Invalid Password" trick.

Once you get all the POP accounts setup in the Consolidate Profile - Import the emails from each of the separate PSTs that were created during your first try. Be sure to NOT import duplicates.
