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.

    Sure, or I could open it in Notepad, but the functionality is 'limited'.... or, I could just print it out and keep it in a binder, but the functionality is limited.

    Oh, wonderful.... now, if I buy a BRAND NEW machine, say from Lenovo, could you point me to the place in the order process where I can specifically say 'Don't sell me the New Outlook, load up the old software instead'?? And, could you tell me how much that will save me on the cost??

    I have both Classic and New installed on my laptop, both run and can run at the same time; I'm not experiencing the errors you mention. would it be possible for you to post the error message(s) you're getting (word for word, please) so we can have a look at them? Thanks!

    Every single posting on the subject is a heap of garbage. Microsoft have made OUTLOOK 2016 unusable.

    I cannot create an OUTLOOK profile USING my Hotmail email account because now MODERN AUTHENTICATION is been enforce since SEPT 2024.

    As for the PST issue. As we all know NEW OUTLOOK is rubbish and O365 as package/suite is also a heap of garbage.

    Well for me if I cannot create a OUTLOOK PROFILE in OUTLOOK 2016 to import/attach my PST files then the whole thing for me is garbage from an ENTITY (MICROSOFT) that does not care about there customers/users.

    The problem is that for some users, classic outlook is not working anymore. I can open it, but is impossible to work there, too slow, a lot of messages related with "lack of space",... MS made impossible to work in classic outlook for some users. At least, they could fix the old one in order we can keep using it, but in fact are not doing it. We are only able to work in the new one..without our emails
