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.

    I have been using my backup program (Veeam) to mount the PST files and parse out the messages. It is a pain, but for now is working. Not sure how long I will be able to keep this up, but we shall see.

    Don't know if this helped but I pretty much fell over the original Outlook.exe file in programs (x86) and started using that again... and 'new' Outlook can go for a l-o-n-g walk... off a short pier!

    I have the original Outlook 2007 (.exe), but when I run it I get "Your MS Exchange admin has blocked the version you are using"

    I guess that's me, but I don't know what to do.

    Alternatively -- Has anyone had luck with Thunderbird? I hear it can read .pst files.
