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.

    Per this document, PSTs are not supported in the preview but will be coming soon.

    I can understand that but now it is January 2025, nine month later and I just happened to fall into this email trap (by agreeing to my 365 to install missing office apps, not by agreeing to a preview version). All PSTs disappeared, POP mail-accounts not transferred to new outlook. Only my outlook.com mailbox worked. All others IMAPs require my consent to upload into the MS cloud.

    How can such lousy half cooked software find its way arount the test engineers into the market? I didn't ask for being a guinea pig (though I accept it more or less voluntarily to a certain degree)! But this goes beyond any limits I was used to. I must say I'm beyond pi... angered. I'll invest now some effort to get things fixed back to normal and if that means I have to change my favourite office and software supplier to a more trustworthy one then so be it.

    I tried switching back to classic outlook but it only switches back to new outlook in classic view. Still no pst or my beloved mailboxes and no idea where the "file" menu is and where I could set out of office replies ... and how to access psts. Aaawwwrgrgl ...

    Thank you all that have posted responses to my original query. A security architect friend of main recommended many years ago Spark as email client for my iPhone as iOS Outlook was painful. Spark for iOS has been fantastic and even my wife who doesn't handle change that well uses it. Unfortunately, Spark for desktop doesn't handle local files.

    So, this same security architect friend recommended eM Client. I migrated to eM Client in September 2024 and haven't looked back. On installation eM Client migrated my PST files to its own local files. Even my reluctant to change wife is using eM Client now

    I was further told that there is a "New" Outlook that is out...so I spent more hours trying to get it and not seeing it only to find that the updated "New" Outlook does not work on the Microsoft Surface laptop with the Arm processor.

    I have run into many issues with the Arm processor and would never recommend it for anyone.

    Given the pretty fundamental nature of the problem under discussion here, and the ridiculous indifference that MS has shown in addressing it, I would take their statement of 'continued support' with a huge grain of salt.
