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'm not sure about that. I have two Outlook.com accounts, an E3, an E5, and three IMAP accounts in Outlook New, I have the Outlook Data Files selection, and I can verify it works for me. Do you have an Outlook.com account?

    I'm curious, is your mailbox also hosted on Microsoft Exchange cloud hosting service?

    It's unbelievable to me that this functionality doesn't exist in New Outlook.

    Thanks for your response. Much appreciated.

    Doesn't seem to support mailboxes hosted on Exchange cloud hosting (work email account)

    That "this article" link takes me here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/open-and-find-items-in-an-outlook-data-file-pst-2e2b55a4-f681-4b93-90cb-31d39349fb95

    My subscription is Exchange Plan 1. I suppose that is not supported yet.
