Is it possible to merge password-protected PST files?

Yes, password-protected PST files can be combined, but you have to start with the passwords itself. Here is a detailed response for forum readers.

If your PST files are password-protected, any application such as Mailvita Merge PST for Mac, will require the password to view and merge the data. It is a professional tool that helps to streamline the whole process. After entering the password for each encrypted PST, the software allows you to merge numerous PST files into a single well structured file without data loss. It can combine whole mailboxes including emails, contacts, calendars, tasks and attachments, while preserving the folder structure.

You can manually merge PST files in Outlook, but it takes longer. To begin, open each PST in Outlook and save it without encryption to delete or unlock the password. Create a fresh new PST file and import all previous PST files into it by going to File > Open & Export > Import/Export > Import from another software or file.
