I have twenty years of history in various .pst files. When I first started using Outlook, my single .pst file and all my folders got too large and I was instructed to move some of my folders into new .pst files. These .pst files contain lots of important emails and historic records attached to emails. So I filed all the emails into various folders within various .pst files.
If Outlook will no longer support .pst files, how will I be able to access the .pst files? I understand that Microsoft will no longer support “Old Outlook”. So what can I now do to be able to access these various .pst files? Should i go back to what I was doing originally and move everything from .pst files into folders within my "root" Outlook email? That would put about 4.5G of emails into my New Outlook. How will that work?

YUP - It appears that with the hard implementation of the new security protocols the old (2019) version of Outlook will not even allow me to use that to continue to use that to access and maintain offline/on prem email storage. Sweeeeeeeeeeeeet!!!
After over 20 years of training another trick, this old dog has to learn...
Problem is that "old" Outlook is not available - it will not accept my password. When I queried this with Microsoft, I was advised to move to "new" Outlook! So I'm stuck between the old one that doesn't work and the new one that isn't fully operational. What a mess!
No answer. Just instructions on using the current state, which is still no answer.
Sadly, no.
Hi mate did you ever get an answer from MS? Im in the same boat two accounts with 10GB pst file back to 2003.
