Here's my problem ... i have two PC's in my house and thet are
newworked, but they both were stand-alone for a long time. First
question - is it possible to 'merge' the email folders on them
(contacts already the same by using phone / activesynch)


Yes.

and
secondly, is it possible to have only one copy of iutlook active in
future, no matter which PC i work on (so all the emails and replies
will be in the same place )?


No. You can't run the exact same Outlook on two PCs. It must be
installed on each PC. Whether you can do that legally or not is covered
by your EULA. TYpically, if you purchase a retail license of Outlook
(i.e., not an OEM license that came with your PC bundle), you can install
Outlook on one desktop and one laptop, provided the purchaser is also the
main user of each PC.

Copy the PST from one PC to the hard drive of the other. On that PC, open
both existing PSTs in the same Outlook and copy the contents of one to the
other.

The PST is in a hidden folder. Enable viewing of hidden files and folders
and you should be able to find it.
