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

    Has this functionality been added to (new) Outlook yet? Seems ridiculous files can't be imported as they can be in (classic) Outlook. If not, please fix/add ASAP.

    There is no FIle tab in Outlook New, it is only found in Classic Outlook. Currently you cannot import a .PST file with Outlook New. Support for this is coming, but currently only partially available:

    Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365

    You can use Classic Outlook for this, either by drag and drop from the .PST into email account folders, or by import using File > Open and Export > Import/Export > Import from a program or file > Outlook Data file (.PST).

    What I need to know is how to import a PST file from my old Outlook into the new outlook. Everything states that there is a file Tab in a new outlook, but there is not. How do I bring in my old Outlook files into my new outlook?!

    Bloody stupid if you ask me, but I'm in the same boat.

    Isn't it absolutely ridiculous! Blows my mind too.

    Did you find a way to do it? Otherwise, I am sticking with the classic.

    Cheers
