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.

    Every single posting on the subject is a heap of garbage. Microsoft have made OUTLOOK 2016 unusable.

    I cannot create an OUTLOOK profile USING my Hotmail email account because now MODERN AUTHENTICATION is been enforce since SEPT 2024.

    As for the PST issue. As we all know NEW OUTLOOK is rubbish and O365 as package/suite is also a heap of garbage.

    Well for me if I cannot create a OUTLOOK PROFILE in OUTLOOK 2016 to import/attach my PST files then the whole thing for me is garbage from an ENTITY (MICROSOFT) that does not care about there customers/users.

    Once I get past general all I have regarding data is privacy and data. Once I click into that drop down, I do not see anything regarding adding a file.

    This version of Oulook is without a doubt the worst "upgrade" since Windows Vista!

    Same problem. Using Office 365. New Outlook spontaneously took over this morning and original Outlook is no longer in my apps. I have critical .pst files that I use daily that I can no longer access. How can I revert back to original Outlook when a) the toggle is broken in new outlook and b) original outlook is not an option in the start menu? Or is there some way to access .pst files from new Outlook? I am still in shock this happened with NO warning or action on my part. MSFT's own information says original Outlook is supported through 2024! Any help appreciated.
