Interesting. Okay, say you've got a few PST files from past backups, and a
bunch of current emails that were never backed up, and you want to organize
them neatly by year and month, using folders and subfolders.

I'm sure there's various ways for me to do it and achieve the same goal in
the end, but what's the most intelligent way to tackle this mission? What do
you do first?

Thanks for your patience!

To create a new PST file: File - New - Outlook Data File.

Copy: drag-and-drop. Use right-click drag-and-drop to select between Copy
and Move (Move is the default).

Don't hesitate to ask for more details if my instructions are unclear.

Copy? As in select all, CTRL-C?

How do I paste that into a PST file? Sorry, I'm a bit green with this.
Can you walk me through it?

Create a new pst file and copy the inbox emails into it. Then close the
new pst file and burn to CD or whatever your preferred method of backup
is...
