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.

    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.

    Sure, please check out the M365 Roadmap for PST files, link below:

    Can you, or anyone, define "limited" a little more specifically?

    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:

    Thank you for your reply.

    I did end up finding a response with a link to download a standalone version of Classic Outlook and this worked!

    I could again access all my email and back to the Outlook I know and prefer.

    I can't understand how the Classic Outlook literally disappeared after I installed Microsoft 365??

    Thank you for answering my question: appreciate!
