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.
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
There is no File tab in Outlook New. There is now a .PST open feature, but it's functionality is limited:
If Outlook Classic disappeared, this link will let you download it:

Can you, or anyone, define "limited" a little more specifically?
Sure, please check out the M365 Roadmap for PST files, link below:
Thanks. It's interesting to me that a lot, if not most (didn't open each and every work item) of these were "added to the roadmap" one week ago, 3/18/25. Could be a weird issue of time/date stamping, but it certainly gives the appearance that MS has been ignoring this issue long after they claimed it would be available.
This dribs and drabs release model works fine for basement programmers putting games for mobile devices up on Apple Store or Google Play, but for actual business systems it is a lousy way to manage the products, IMO. Just guessing, but I think there are a lot of people who have posted to this forum that feel the same way.
PST files have been a fundamental part of Outlook as far back as I can remember, yet here we are with a road map of development that shows PST management in any form as far away as October 2025.
How can you release a product that completely dismisses a fundamental function. Would you be releasing Word that cannot open .DOC files or Excel that could not open .XLS files, no, so why Outlook.
This has caused so many issues from a support point of view as clients willingly upgrade then cannot find the emails they previously had access to. You are then told to downgrade to classic to regain access to PST files, but the link itself is wrong as it takes you to a download only to be told classic is already installed. It is a total 'expletive' show from Microsoft.
