Note for this version

Some folks say they click these at work and prefer a version that demonstrates but has no audio, So this version is the silent type. Just watch the arrows.

Reason

You have a brand new computer and need to move your email from old computer.

You have too much email and need to split your current file.

You make a backup and it is now time to use the backup file

Before you start, you might want to consider changing the display name of your older.pst file from Personal Folders to something more meaningful to you. Changing the name helps you to distinguish different Outlook data files when you work with more than one .pst file.

Do this in your drive using the normal rename command.
