Hi everyone, i successfully setup Microsoft 2011 on my mac and also imported my pst file w/o any problem.

after that i made my account on POP, my question is how to assign this account to read/write from the imported pst file.

thanks in advance for help

Outlook 2011 does not "read/write" from a PST file. You can import data from a PST (which you did) but Outlook will store mail and other information in your Office Identities folder.

Your question does not make any sense. (In fact, there's not even a question there.)

What are these "new" and "old" PST files you're talking about? Outlook 2011 does not use PST files itself. It will only import a PST file from Windows Outlook. Since you said you had already imported your Windows Outlook PST file, you should not have any PST files at all now.

The strange thing is, I have no idea if he's being sarcastic or just doesn't understand English that well. Or both. Either way, no skin off my nose.
