Hi, alexjayaprakash.
I can do it with a fairly simple bi of scripting, if that's an option. I can post the code for doing this if it is.

Line 9 generates an errorcode. This can be simply solved by filling in the complete path where tot create the duplicate. Like:
Session.AddStore ("D:\MyDocs\Oultlook\" & strDestFolder & ".pst")
Session.AddStore ("D:\MyDocs\Oultlook\" & strDestFolder & ".pst")
In case somebody else come around trying to find out how to do it...
1) In File Menu click in Archive
2) Select Archive this folder and all subfolders
3) Select the PST with the folder structure you want to duplicate
4) In "Archive items older than" write a date older than any email you have in that PST (for instance, Mon 1990-01-01)
5) Checkmark on the Include items with "Do not AutoArchive" checked
6) Browse where to save the new .PST
7) Click OK
8) Wait for the archiving process to finish.
9) A new PST called "Archive Folders" will appear in the left panel. It will contain the same folder structure but no data items from the old .PST
10) Change the name as needed (right click, properties, advanced, NAME)
