I just came on to the Microsoft hosting for my work emails. I have my emails from the previous hosting as a pst file. The new outlook is not showing me an option to import these into my account

    I was FORCED to switch to the new outlook by the windows update the BROKE the classic version. I could no longer connect to my domain email (and cannot roll back the update), makes me ANGRY and the incompetence and lack of consideration by microsoft.

    And now the new and UNimproved outlook running, and it is using my pst file, but the calendar entries are gone, the folders are gone, and all the sender names that were set up as Junk are gone. This makes me ANGRY.

    I now have to keep the classic outlook open (for calendar and my saved email folders)

    and the New outlook open for send/receive of emails.

    My thoughts, the moron that forced the update to new, the moron that removed the import options, and the upper management that approved these should be FIRED.

    Not a password issue. Outlook new doesn't have a way to import a it's or pst file.
