How can I mount a data file (pst) in new outlook. In the classic version this is doable through the File menu which is not available in new outlook.

Misty Vogel,

You and I are without a doubt members of the THOUSANDS of disgruntled Outlook Email Group! I've fought this battle for weeks to no avail!

Up to this point I had trusted Microsoft to have our concerns and best interests in mind. Now I do believe I will just SELL my MICROSOFT STOCK!

I am an Information Services Manager for a World-Wide Delivery Company and this one moronic

change/lack of support by MSFT has brought us to our knees!

This is an attack on Outlook Email users to force everyone to purchase Microsoft 365 for a ridiculous fee.

I for one will not be "out done" and will continue to tear this apart until I find...as they say, "where there's a will there's a way" solution.

WHEN I find it, and I WILL, I'll post the solution or workaround for everyone to see!

I enjoy telling folks I was born in the 1950s BD. The BD is BEFORE DOS. We have alternatives in Office Applications.

Open Office and Thunderbird etc. Many versions of Linux as well. I AM SO DONE with Microsoft.

Import from an External PST File:

• Click on File in the Outlook menu bar.
• Select Open & Export > Import/Export.
• Choose Import from another program or file and click Next.
• Select Outlook Data File (.pst) and click Next.
• Browse to the location of your PST file and select it.
• If the PST file has a password, enter it and click OK.

Where is "FILE"? I don't seem to have that option after switching to the new Outlook. I have several different offline data-files that I used in the Old Outlook that did not come through when I switched to the new one. Only my main domain mailboxes came over. This is a detriment and makes using the new Outlook completely impractical. Yet in attempting to switch back to the old Outlook, I am somehow not receiving new emails and just keep getting a "Not Responding" lag. It's left me completely inoperable for work tasks for 6 hours thus far today.

(It says it inserted an image I'm trying to share of my menu bar - but I don't see it on my end, so going to hit submit and hope for the best).

The frustration is real - and I agree, it feels like a money-grab.

I have M365, but use it through the desktop application as the cloud version lacks features I use daily. Still, mailbox sizes are limited, and archiving for many businesses is a must. In this world of electronic delivery of documents, mailbox capacity depletes rapidly - so offline mailbox for archival purposes becomes a must. (Ah, but that too can be purchased for a price - reoccurring of course). Nah, thanks - I don't mind doing the work and facilitating the backups, but to completely remove my ability to do so - that's unwarranted.

If MSFT wants to sell the service as a convenience, and people are willing to pay for it - great - good for them. But if people want the ability to save their items themselves, MSFT shouldn't remove the ability to do so.

I am back in the prior version - and was able to restore my offline mailboxes for now.... till it gives me trouble yet again.

This is by far the stupidest thing I have seen from Microsoft....

NEW - should imply better and improved. So far, that is not the case.

I rolled back to the old outlook by pressing start, and searching for outlook. The old version was still there. I pinned it back to my taskbar, and unpinned the new outlook.
