Default Two different .pst files

Is there a way to use two different .pst files from two differerent people?
My son's computer broke and we only have one computer in the house so I would
like to take his .pst file and put it on my computer so he can get to his
email. Is that possible and how would I do it.

Just copy the PST file to your hard drive. Then open it in Outlook:
File Open Outlook Data File...

OK thank you.
Copy it to a different location than where mine is correct? This will allow
him to see his emails correct? How about receiving emails on my computer?

Always copy PST files to a location other than the default.
If you also want him to be able to set up his email account on your
computer, why wouldn't you just create a separate Outlook profile for him?
He can set up his email account and use his old PST file.
