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

Hi, I'm confused by this reply. It seems to simply explain how to open a PST file in the old version of Outlook. For those of us who have messages archived in PST files, but want to start using the new version of Outlook, are you saying that there isn't a solution at this time?
Correct - there is no solution to this problem in "new" Outlook. The options at this point are to revert to classic outlook so you can mount .pst files or lose access to them with new outlook. Hoping Microsoft is paying attention and will figure out how to make .pst's accessible in the newer version or scrap it altogether!

Hi Phil - I know you weren't replying to me directly, but in an effort to get you on your way to a possible solution - please scroll to the comment I added on Aug 9, 2024 for an interim fix.
Sadly - there is no update from MS at this time other than using Outlook in Classic mode.
The roadmap now indicates .PST support is planned for March 2025:
Thanks.
Looks like it is only a read only function for now, but means we can open old PSTs. I'm guessing no plans to create new PST in future is still not there though.
