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.

    "...coming soon..." That was written in March...it is now September. From what I can see, still no option.

    This "SHOULD" be a simple thing to do and "should" have been included in the very first release. Most, EVERYONE starting on this new version came from the old one...why just dump on them for something this simple?

    FWIW, Outlook New will not be replacing Classic Desktop Outlook until at least 2029, which should mitigate the need to move everything now.

    I'm currently running Outlook Classic Desktop version 2409

    I very much can still create new .PST files. From the main Outlook window, New Items > More Items > Outlook Data File:

    Also, from File > Account Settings > Account Settings > Data Files > Add

    So, the ability to create new .PST files is still there.

    OUTLOOK *CLASSIC* CHANGED!

    I've complained here before, when I discovered the "New" Outlook does not support PST files. I was told, here, to continue using the old Outlook (now called "Classic Outlook"?), so I did. Today, I saw there was a change in the Home ribbon (Deleting an email now requires two clicks). I looked for more changes and discovered the ability to CREATE new PST files has been removed.

    I am very upset about this. I want this feature back! It is not enough to only provide a means of opening old PST files. I want the option to continue creating new PST files as I need them. Why should I trust MS to maintain my emails forever? A simple change in policy on their part could erase MY personal property at any time. This is not right.
