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.

    One suggestion I might be doing ..

    Within the exising oulook which I'm currently using and able to open .pst files .. I will open all the .pst files i have .. one by one .. then will move the content from them into my existing inbox "which is currently on the cloud" then will move these old emails into sub-folders "also within the cloud" then will upgrade to the new outlook with "ALL" my previous emails and current emails will be aceesible since they are already on the cloud ..

    It is still a plan .. which I need to make sure it will work .. hopefully

    it's unbelievable that MS can launch this new platform completeley revisited not considering alla the features... I'm an addicted and I'm really an outlook fan but I'have to switch back. It's disappointing cause the new outlook it's interesting anda very quick in drilling down to the other sw (for instance teams). A lot of work to do.....

    Bye new Outlook - hello old Outlook.

    For my way of working this is not negotiable. I need multiple pst files.

    A great find. It's shameful that Microsoft doesn't have the customer relations acumen to have realised how much its customers value their archives in .pst files. It should have been a simple matter to have provided a procedure to import .pst data to the new archive folder.
    By the way, have you found a way to use MailStore to import .pst data to the new Outlook?
