New Outlook won't open .pst files

The new version of Outlook for Windows (Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2023.425.600 - Production) no longer allows me to open my old .pst archive files.

All documentation refers to a File menu that this version does not have at all.

    May I respectfully suggest for the MS team to consider the No. 1 principle behind the Agile manifesto (2001): ” Our highest priority is to satisfy the customer through early and continuous delivery of valuable software.”

    Build the right solution, respond to change by understanding what your customers want/need. Surely, adding ‘pst’ file support/functionality to Outlook 2023 would not be difficult for the MS team. Please consider it seriously.

    Merhaba arkadaşlar. Yeni outlook görünümünde PST desteği kaldırılmış. 

    Bunun güvenlik nedeniyle olduğunu düşünüyorum.Türkçe kaynak olması açısından, https://www.olkando.com/pst-destegi-bitti/ Yazdığım yazıyı sizlerle paylaşıyorum.

    As workaround, we have started evaluating "Thunderbird" for Mails just for this reason.

    We intend to trigger this organization wide, once there is no way for us to access pst(s) with MS Outlook.

    Everyone here rightly pointed, that Outlook without PST is not an email client for us.

    What is the official MS answer to accessing old .pst files? They just ok with us never being able to access? I have 23 years of .pst files, lol.

    Problem solved: I reverted to the old version of Outlook when I saw that there was a switch to go back!

    I'm so happy and relieved... for the time being, until the day Microsoft gives us no choice to change.

    Apart from the .pst file issue, there were 4 or 5 other dissatisfactions with the new version that I reported, little features I was used to that made my life easier and that had disappeared, like not being able to select / copy attachments and paste on my PC! And other obsolete features that requirered more clicks to do the same thing as before.
