I imported a .pst file via EAC ( Exchange 2016 ) and all was succesfull.
I expected the file to be in my mailbox, but there is nothing. Also after a few Outlook restarts and a couple of days waiting.

    The solution was to do it with powershell and not from the "gui" in EAC.

    You can import your PST file to Outlook by manual method, follow below steps: -

    • Click File tab in Microsoft Outlook
    • Select Open & Export then Open Outlook Data File.
    • Select Import from another program file then click Next
    • Now open PST file and click Next
    • Now type the path of your PST file or you can also browse it.
    • Now select the folder that you want to Import
    • Click Finish.

    If above manual method doesn't work, then you can download any third party tool. I hope my answer has helped you learn to import your PST file.

    Hi @Dennis van der Linden | ITHEC ,

    How do i open an imported .pst file??

    If you could access to the original .pst file now, we could open/import the file by Outlook client(File>Open&Export>choose open data file or import).

    For you issue, could you see the imported data normally in owa?

    If you also couldn't find the information on owa, the issue may be related to not importing successfully or the .pst file itself.

    In this case, we could first run Get-MailboxImportRequest to further confirm if the import request is completed.

    If it was completed, the issue may be related to the pst file itsef, in order to confirm it, we could try to import other .pst file to check if it could work normally with it.
