    I want to thank everyone for their help. I sent info to MS and here is their response:

    "⮞ From the collected logs, I noticed that your email address (a******@windstream.net) is currently hosted with Oracle servers instead of Microsoft servers, which is causing the issue.
    ⮞ To fully utilize the Microsoft services using your email accounts, they need to be hosted directly with us. You can find more details about Microsoft Exchange plans in the link below:

    If you need further assistance in hosting your emails with Microsoft, please click on the call/chat/email support icon on the left side of that page. They will be happy to assist you further."

    I don't care about this anymore as I am getting my emails.

    I don't believe we can currently transfer classic Outlook files/folders (pst) from an old pc to a new pc (with new Outlook). Some people have reported that maybe by 2029 MS will get around to doing this. By that time our old pcs will be long recycled.

    You can now open .PST files in Outlook New. They are currently read only and have no access to Contacts, Calendars, etc. For more info, please see Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365
