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.

    For your information, I am using M365... anyway, I got the following in the new outlook:

    In the classic, hard to show since is a random message that appears while using it, but basically I need to wait 5min to each click I do and several emails does not leave outbox.. it's always "not responding". Classic outlook died on 14/August in my side.. never was possible to work with it again...

    Sure, or I could open it in Notepad, but the functionality is 'limited'.... or, I could just print it out and keep it in a binder, but the functionality is limited.

    Oh, wonderful.... now, if I buy a BRAND NEW machine, say from Lenovo, could you point me to the place in the order process where I can specifically say 'Don't sell me the New Outlook, load up the old software instead'?? And, could you tell me how much that will save me on the cost??

    I have both Classic and New installed on my laptop, both run and can run at the same time; I'm not experiencing the errors you mention. would it be possible for you to post the error message(s) you're getting (word for word, please) so we can have a look at them? Thanks!

    The problem is that for some users, classic outlook is not working anymore. I can open it, but is impossible to work there, too slow, a lot of messages related with "lack of space",... MS made impossible to work in classic outlook for some users. At least, they could fix the old one in order we can keep using it, but in fact are not doing it. We are only able to work in the new one..without our emails
