In order to comply with a litigation discovery request for "all
e-mail" meeting certain criteria, I want to consolidate e-mail from
ALL of the existing PST files on my three-computer network [all XP
Pro] into a NEW SUPER.pst file [using Outlook 2003, so size limit in
earlier versions are not exceeded].  [I then plan to use ZOOT, or
something of the kind, to create a searchable database from that new
SUPER.pst file.]

FIRST:  What is the most efficient way to consolidate all of my
existing PST files into the new SUPER.pst file?

SECOND:  What is the best [affordable] software for making a
searchable database based on the new SUPER.pst AND/OR other electronic
files on my network?

THIRD:  What I ultimately need to do is to produce all e-mail [and
other electronic documents] meeting certain criteria in electronic
and/or hard copy format.  The number of e-mail/documents could run
into the thousands -- so obviously I don't want to do this "by hand". 
Is there some
ingeneious [quick and easy] way to do this?

FOURTH:  I would appreciate also any thoughts re available software,
etc., not only to accomplish the above-described task on e-mail, but
one that will do the same for word documents [i.e., that will let me
locate AND THEN EXPORT OR PRINT -- as the Judge decrees] documents
meeting certain criteria on a BATCH basis with as little human
intervention as possible.
