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.

    Thanks for the reply. In Settings, I have the following options:

    • Language and time
    • Appearance
    • Notifications
    • Accessibility
    • Privacy and data
    • Search
    • Offline
    • Start up
    • About Outlook

    There's no option for Outlook Data Files. I checked in Privacy and data, and it's not in there.

    Can you send me a screenshot?

    The version I'm using is:

    You have Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2024.1124.100 (Production). Client Version is 20241115003.34.WebView2 Version is 131.0.2903.86.

    The latest 365 update bricked moving pst files in Classic Outlook and New Outlook (Outlook Version 1.2024.1204.300 (Production). Microsoft 365 version 2410 build 18129.20200) does not have the "Outlook Data File" option listed under Settings -> General. Any ideas?

    For Classic Desktop, File > Open and Export > Outlook Data File. I have never seen Settings > General > Outlook Data File in any version of Outlook New.

    There is no inport/export or "file" tab in new outlook. I am so confused!
