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.

    Hi MS Moderator > I still use Win10. And I still use PC Outlook as well as web-based Outlook.

    To backup emails I have used the PST file to save emails in MONTH folders.

    It was a simple drag-drop operation to move live emails to PST file. These PST files are stored on PC drive. NOT in the Cloud or other datacentre vault.

    Given the feedback received from MS/Outlook customers, please explain when this new Outlook will feature an easy to use and accessible PST function?

    And will this new Outlook be able to read PST files given I reference past business emails in PST??

    Thanks

    Thank you so much. I just purchased a new computer and never thought I would get all my .pst files back. This was helpful and I am now working under the classic until I can figure out how to transfer everything into the new version.

    Perhaps I spoke too soon, most of the functions in classic mode have been removed and it scrambles the inbox data. MicroSoft have done a good one on us users with this upgrade!

    This is why I am not switching to the new Outlook until they fix this big problem.
