I am migrating from an old desktop PC that is utilizing Microsoft 2019 to a new laptop that is using Outlook 365 (subscription). I want to move my .pst file from Outlook 2019 to my new laptop and Outlook 365. There is NO FILE TAB in Outlook 365. How do I direct Outlook where to look for the .pst file???

Hello WIUser
Are you using Outlook on the web or Outlook that was installed with Office? Type Outlook on the start menu to open the desktop app - its called Outlook app.
It looks nearly identical to Outlook 2019 as seem in my second screenshot.

Going back to the old, or "classic", Outlook is not an option. The old executable won't fire, whether the "New Outlook" toggle switch is on or off.
When I turned off the "New Outlook" toggle, the old version will not open. Once I selected the New version, I can no longer go back to the Old.
I'm an old man born in 1960 prior to anything resembling computer use for the general public, or cybertechnology. Over the past 35 years it has been apparent to me that ANYTIME anything in this rhelm is new, "improved," or upgraded, it means at least a couple of months time spent by tech people as well as users trying to figure out why something that wasn't broken in the first place must ALWAYS be "fixed." Then, by the time the bugs are worked out, there's yet another so called "improvement." Not only a constant frustration, but now we're all more vulnerable than ever. Can one of these tech guys work on a time machine and get me back to about 1980?
In addition, Outlook 365 is lacking the review feature. Previously, I had been able to do a spell and grammar check with selectable languages (I write many emails in German). This is another feature now missing.
While I could live with this, I would like to retrieve my sent messages, but there are zero historic messages in the sent folder prior to the change to Outlook 365. How am I supposed to find the email addresses of people to whom I want to write if they have not sent me messages since the change to Outlook 365?
Is there any tool that lets me access my good old PST file and extract information?
