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.

    From the Microsoft 365 roadmap - Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365

    Rollout Start: January 2025

    Outlook: First phase of PST support in new Outlook for Windows

    The first phase PST (a.k.a. Outlook Data File) support in the new Outlook for Windows provides read-only access to Mail items within *.pst files. Users will be able to open *.pst files, read their emails within *.pst files, and search *.pst files for emails. All Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks data saved in the *.pst files are still there, but they cannot be accessed in this preview. Next releases will expand PST support capabilities.

    How can Microsoft release a piece of software that cannot even open their own files. It is beyond crazy. Whoever signed this utter **** off, I hope they no longer work for Microsoft or any other software vendor for that matter. Utter incompetence from Microsoft.

    We are having loads of issues with the new Outlook. How can Microsoft release such a half **** application when it is the mainstay of the Microsoft Application suite.

    Old Outlook no access to In-Line Archives but access to local archive PST files.

    New Outlook, access to In-Line Archives but not access to local archive PST files.

    Why, Why, Why Microsoft do you make such fundamental changes to functionality which effectively stops people in their tracks from doing their job. Its unforgivable. We pay you a lot of money for the software, the least you can do is make it do the job it is supposed to do.
