Well, you can have more than one .pst "opened" in Outlook at the same time.
So, you could do your new designs in the new pst, and receive and send
messages from there, and so begin to build new, updated information in the
new pst. You can still access the old contacts folder to pick up email
addresses from the existing folder. The trick there is to go in and change
the display name to be able to distinguish which folder is meant when you
have to choose one folder from another. It is a real bummer to look on the
list and see two Contacts listed, and then have to search through one list
and not find what you want, cancel, and select the other Contacts folder,
and search through that list.
