import pst from windows as a working inbox and account

Hi All,

I want to import my Outlook .pst from Windows into my new Macbook running 10.8 and Office 11

I followed the directions and exported from Windows a backup.pst, and shifted this over to the Mac.

However, when I import into Outlook it doesn't come up as a working inbox but as a folder underneath Inbox/Drafts/Sent/Deleted, and when I check in Prefs > Accounts, there is no account setup.

How do I do this? Do I have to setup the accounts first, and then do the import?

or do I import the working .pst file and not the backup.pst?

Please help.
