Copy your .pst file and open it in Outlook. Do NOT import.

| Where is the mail kept?

No - it will open a new personal folders file in your older list. If the
file contains a lot of data, then copy the items from the NEW file to the
old, and in Control panel-Mail-Data Files set the OLD file as the default
delivery location. You can then close the NEW file.
