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.

    Apparently Microsoft isn't even aware or they have ulterior motives or they are just too stupid (perplexed) or they really don't care. This issue must be corrected. I find no referrals to this huge ERROR replacing my Outlook with a severely deprecated version that won't open my .PST files, not to mention other features which are less than my old Outlook. There must be some way of communicating with Microsoft and getting answers to these questions. But I can't find it !!!!!@!*&^%^

    Lack of .pst file support makes the new Outlook unusable for me. Can't understand what Microsoft is thinking.

    Unusable for me also, but I know perfectly well what Microsoft is thinking:

    "We want to force you to store your entire life history on our servers. We can charge you $$ for space, increase the price every year, and also 'mine' it to manipulate your spending and other behaviors. Oh, and we will also hand it over to the government on request."

    Or more succinctly:

    "All your data are belong to us." (as uttered by a poorly translated video game)
