I have just created a new profile, and in it set up one of my POP3
accounts. All stable so far. Now, how would I use my old outlook.pst
file with mail, notes and contacts?

I presume that once I get my old pst file in use and have recreated all
my email accounts, I can just use this new profile and ignore the old
one?

Are there any gotchas? ps what does MVP - Outlook stand for?

Finally, thanks for your help.
