How can I mount a data file (pst) in new outlook. In the classic version this is doable through the File menu which is not available in new outlook.

Need to create a pst file and upload a previously created pst file into outlook. This was an effortless exercise in classic outlook with readily available option in File menu. How do I get to that functionality in the new outlook.

    My primary email account is ******@addendum.com, which is located on a Microsoft Exchange Server.

    The order of my email accounts in the "new" Outlook is:
    ******@hotmail.com
    ******@addendum.com
    ******@addendum.com

    Why does Microsoft remove necessary features like the ability to order the Email accounts in the order I use them in. The email account I use the most, ******@addendum.com

    For math majors, thats:
    28 years, 2 months, 3 weeks
    so there are a lot of emails to keep track of.

    I created TWO .PST files to put very old emails into.

    One was for last years emails and the other one for emails older than last year.

    I just wastes 1.4 GBs of disk space.

    That's OK since I have 4 GBs to start with.

    I was forced to create a Hotmail account to use Microsoft apps.

    I never use it for sending or receiving emails!

    I've seen apps that do NOT order a "Dropdown List" in any useful order.
    Because the programmer did NOT see the need.

    What an idiot, and the design team he rode in on...

    This is how I feel when I can NOT do simple things like:
    Not be FORCED to GROUP emails in my Inbox by something like when the email was "Received", who it is "From," and the "Subject".

    I routinely Order by From or Subject depending on what I am looking for.
    As an example, when I sort by Subject, to find all the incident numbers on an ongoing 94-day issue that has NOT been resolved. In the "OLD" Outlook, it would sort by "Subject" then Date.

    The "new" Outlook is ABSOLUTE GARBAGE!!! I also reverted back to the old, tried and true Outlook, which can read PST files.

    Microsoft Development needs to GROW UP and GO BACK TO SCHOOL.

    SHEESH!

    So I'm meant to import 15 years worth of emails totalling 70GB, back into an OST file. What a ludicrous idea. I have annual PSTs to easily manage my emails as we are only allowed 6 months online in exchange. If I import, the chances are they will all disappear.

    Is there a plan to revert to the sensible method of email management we have all been used to for years?

    WOW is all i can say. I have years of old pst files that I need to get random things from. I even export out my pst file for each job once it is complete. then when a job comes back I link the old pst file for reference. SO is this in the works. I recently needed to rebuild my pc and downloaded outlook and it doesnt have the option to roll back to the old.
