Basically, a lady who was training me for her job left earlier than expected. She said I could search through her e-mails to see how she did things. I exported her inbox into a pst file and it's now sitting on my current computer. I don't want to open it if it's going to combine all of her e-mails with mine. I'd like to keep the 2 inboxes separate. If I double click it, will it open in a separate Outlook(2016)? I don't even want her stuff in a sub folder of my mail -- I just want to open up her inbox when I need it. Thanks.

You should be able to import the file in Outlook and send all the emails to a specific folder; exchange should not make it an "inbox".

If it was me, I'd just add it in Outlook as a second data file and it'll just show up in Outlook under all your folders.

Otherwise the only other way to keep it totally separate would be to create a new profile without an email account and just that PST as a data file and then set Outlook ask for which profile to use on startup.

You rang ?
File > Open > Open Outlook data file, it'll then appear on the left hand menu as a separate mailbox you can dive into.

Do not import as it'll make a fun mess.
