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.

    Jesus fu... christ, the new outlook is getting worse every day. Why does microssoft has no intention to let people import their old pst files... Yes we all have to change to the new oulook because micrososft is forcing us, but then please let us import our old stuff to the new outlook.

    Now I have to use a classic outlook on some computer (when I find one) import my old domain emails and my new ones just to move from one to another account. This is getting out of hand... And I have to do this for a whole company with 30 Clients...

    Roadmap 2025 :-D Good idea after the new outlook is already published a few years.

    According to the roadmap, release is scheduled for March 25, 2025:

    Outlook: Initial version of PST support in new Outlook for Windows The initial version of PST support in new Outlook for Windows will enable users to open "*.pst" files (a.k.a. Outlook Data Files), read all e-mail messages within the "*.pst" file, and search e-mail messages within the ".pst" file. This initial support is limited to Mail items and is read-only. All Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks data saved in the "*.pst" files are still there, but they cannot be accessed in this initial version. #newoutlookforwindows

    I can see that Outlook users are complaining for several months about this issue. When is expected that Microsoft solve it?

    Like other users, I tried to go back to classic version, but is not working (I was compeltly forced to go to the new one!!!).

    Hal, I stand corrected about creating new PST files. However, my version of Outlook 365 does not show a "New Items" option as per your screen snag. Instead, I found "More Items >" dropdown by clicking "New Email" dropdown menu.

    I completely forgot about creating a PST from Accounts. Thanks for your help.

    Now back to the main topic. When will the NEW Outlook support creating and opening PST files?
