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.

    Hey Hal,

    I guess that would have been the solution for me but now I'm reluctant to test it out. I solved the issue meanwhile by removing 365 completely from my PC and bought a used version of Office 2021 Pro. It was easy to install and the contained outlook client even found my old profiles and everything. I started Outlook and immediately felt home again. edited:(+ all my previous mail accounts and pst were back to normal)

    Just in case, anyone, try Hal's link to the Outlook Classic download page or simply remove 365 and install Office Pro in a version with that client. With 2021 I thought I'm safe and so was it.

    Thanks to all who came up with solutions, Ingolf

    Has this issue been resolved. I, too, am trying to load a PST file into (new) outlook, but can't seem to find a solution online b/c the new Outlook doesn't have a file option. How do I bring over my old stuff in Outlook?????

    It hasn't been fixed. It has been 'resolved' - MS doesn't give a f*&k about us.

    Yes

    On the new Outlook you go to Settings>General>Outlook data files>Add file

    You'll be good to go
