How to import .pst file data into Outlook
You can use the backup copy of your .pst file to restore your Outlook data if the original .pst file is damaged or lost. Everything that is saved in the .pst file is returned to Outlook.
In Outlook 2010:
Follow these steps to restore, or import, your data into Outlook:
- Click the File tab.
- In the Open category, click Import.
- In the Import and Export Wizard, click Import from another program or file, and then click Next.
- Click Outlook Data File (.pst), and then click Next.
- Type the path and the name of the .pst file that you want to import, or click Browse to choose the file to import.
Note Under Options, it is recommended that you click Do not import duplicates, unless you want the imported information to replace or duplicate items that are already in Outlook.
- Click Next.
- Select the folder that you want to import. To import everything in the .pst file, select the top of the hierarchy.
Note The top folder (usually Personal Folders, Outlook Data File or your email address) is selected automatically. Include subfolders is selected by default. All folders under the folder selected will be imported
- Click Finish.
Actually this is quite easy. Here is the step-by-step tutorial on how to import your PSTs into Outlook:
