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.
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

This is a fatal flaw to all of us that rely on PST files for organization methods. I refer to my PST files all day every day. I had to switch back to the old Outlook in order to have my files again. What a shame.
totally agree! a huge backwards!
Agree. Loved being able to archive my email. But Outlook without PSTs is not a very good email client.
In my opinion, this is a serious problem for people like myself with +15 years of pst files stored and need the export/import feature. If the MS team is using Agile/SCRUM, the product owner should immediately update the sprint backlog. I am surprised that including the 'pst functionality' was not a top priority user story. Perhaps the scrum master will mention it to the team during the retrospective? Thank you for considering it.
Thank you
