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

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

    I can use classic but the issue now is it requests a password to open the pst file.

    I never had a password when I saved the file. So it’s impossible to open.

    Ruins 5 years of saved emails!!! What a disaster

    Why does microsoft have a password on opening a saved file when there was no password protection when saving.

    I am on version 1.2025.122.200 and the option is there to open pst files. go to Settings/General, select Outlook Data Files then +Add File. There may be a support message but if you continue past it you should be able to select your pst file and it will show up under Personal Folders in your mailbox list. From there you can view your messages but the ability to move them to another mailbox, may be limited.
