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.

    My Classic Outlook (365) has slowed to a crawl since an Insiders Win11 update several weeks ago. I have deleted empty folders, archived, cleaned-up and reset processor priority to high with a registry hack. Still, at times, a click on a mail or different account results in a 5 sec+ delay before action. "New Outlook" doesn't have that problem and that's the positive. But inability to open other pst files is a non-starter. Please comment on speed. I'm running SSD on a fast processor.

    Any chance this Win11 Insider update can be temporarily uninstalled, or the OS system restored to a date before the update?

    Not sure what your circumstance is but for me, I installed Office 2019 on a new staging of my PC. I found two Outlook options, Classic and New. I tried New and found many of the same problems described in this issue/complaint. I instead opened Outlook Classic and set up my email account, then imported my PST file into the new outlook profile. Everything returned.

    See this link for using Outlook Classic if outlook is installed on your PC. https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/outlook_com/forum/all/how-do-i-download-the-classic-version-of-outlook/f2e56ae5-e563-4929-85cb-a62869eb9866
