How can I archive emails using the new outlook format. It's quite different than the classic view.

Create a new .pst file and name it Archive. It will then show up on the left side as an account. From there, you should be able to right click on the folder and recreate folder names or make new ones. Then you can drag/drop old emails to a folder that you created.

Remember, the .pst file will only be available on that computer. It will not be accessible from your phone or outlook online.

This is the only thing available at this point that I have found. And the .pst file thing just popped up as an option a few days ago … for me anyway.

yep agree with u its pretty much useless now - i need a refund

This is a deal breaker for me on the New Outlook. I cannot create archives to reduce my mailbox size, and I am left to delete the emails I want to keep.

For some reason, I can't even get my email to work on the old Outlook Classic to try and go back.

Unfortunately, as far as Microsoft is concerned, working with old PST files and auto-archiving your mails are relicts of the past. If these are important features for you, switch to another client. eM Client does all these things and more.

Thats my question too! How do I archive old folders in the new Outlook
