Restore e-mails from Outlook 2007 to .Me / Mail

Mac user in peace.

I run Apple's Mail which syncs via .Me (formerly .Mac) with my iPhone. I
use Parallels to create a virtual machine on which runs Windows XP. I have a
..pst file originaly created by Outlook 2003 wihch I want to open (I own a
copy of Outlook XP which being a previous version, will not open the pst). I
have downloaded a 60-day trial of Office Small Business 2007 to open the pst.
On set up I created an e-mail account by using my existing .Me account.
Outlook 2007 has successfully opend up my old PST file, however on first
send/receive it has not just opend my .Me e-mail address, it has pulled them
off the server into Outlook. Not exactly what I was looking for. Now what I
want to do is move the whole lot back to .Me. Does anyone have any bright
ideas? I do have a Hotmail address if that helps in any way. I have 59 days
left to sort this out; I am currently copying the whole of my Outlook Inbox
to a Personal Folder which I have configured to be compatible with previous
versions of Outlook so I may have access to them after 59 days if it works.
Nevertheless there must be an easier way than this to restore messages from
Outlook back to the Server? Thanks.

You have to send the mail back/forward to yourself
If using Outlook, ammend account settings to leave a copy on the server
