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.

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    I'm having the same problem. I lost access to my account today, and it turns out it was just due to the new Outlook. I just switched back to the classic Outlook, and all works well. Also, I can export PST files again.

    The new outlook sucked. I held my nose for nearly a year, but it just doesn't work well.

    I've found one work-around to the pst file issue. Of course I hope M$ ultimately has this feature in the "New Outlook". 2025 maybe?

    I went ahead and setup New Outlook and migrated settings. Once I could see which account(s) migrated (In this case my Exchange account and a Gmail account) I selected and moved the subfolders of greatest interest from the various pst files created over years and put them as subfolders under the gmail account which had migrated. This doesn't work so well if you have a ton of different pst files with subfolders, but by moving those of greatest interest under the inbox of the gmail account, the emails "migrated" and populated the folders in New Outlook.

    It's a temporary fix until M$ does the necessary.

    I have complete sympathy my friend. I have issue's as I have documented to MS :

    1. My hotmail email account does not authenticate using OUTLOOK 2016, which means that because MS have changed the authentication process to the server my password is rejected. However using a web browser to MS OUTLOOK my password works.

    SO THAT IS ONE ISSUE

    1. I have several PST files that cannot be attached using NEW OUTLOOK. There is NO facility to encompass this feature.

    the great minds of this organisation have NOT provided a concise thought process to the PRODUCT they have created to support.

    I am stuck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
