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 !!!!!@!*&^%^

    Microsoft Support has gotten so bad lately I am thinking of leaving Windows and all their products and banning them from my business permanently much like we did with Adobe. No PST Support means Office 365 is removed and all our corporate accounts will be cancelled permanently.

    Agreed! Outlook without access to old PST file is worthless. I would look right away for an alternative to Outlook... moreover, it's not a good omen for PST files that Microsoft issued a new version of Outlook that doesn't support PST.

    I totally agree with you. Did you manage to find any alternative?

    Thanks.

    All,

    I'm the original poster of this comment. A bit after I posted, a member of my team noticed that MS said that .PST support WOULD be available when the new version of Outlook goes GA.

    Please see my post in the forum from December 18, 2023.
