Merging 2 MS Outlook email archives

Is there a way to do this? Without overwriting one?

I've developed the habit of downloading my email, from my ISP account, to 2 computers (home/office). I use email for tracking a number of business transactions and therefore keep quite a few old emails. Now I'm confronted with 2 archives, making tracking difficult.

Is there any way to copy the email files from one PC and importing all of the emails to a second machine without overwriting the existing email/folders on the second machine?

Any help greatly appreciated and if you are at PubConf in Fla. please present me with your chit/marker for this one which I will gladly redeem for a beer or other beverage of your choosing.

OBTW - I probably misspeak when I say "archive". I haven't archived the files. I have active folders with 100s of old emails in them that I just keep adding to.

I'm pretty sure you can just import the emails, no?. When you do this, it just merges the 2 accounts, into one big "super account". I'm not entirely sure if this is what you are looking for.
