Import PST New Outlook during the PST interim phase

Microsoft is rolling out PST functionality in phases. At the time of this post, you must export from Classic Outlook before importing to New Outlook. Also, I added multiple PST files to New Outlook and noticed they all showed up as "Outlook Data File" in the left navigation. No way to tell which was which unless I clicked into each one. Annoying.

Turns out, you can give each PST a custom account name before importing.

In this video, I walk through:

✅Exporting from Classic Outlook
✅Renaming the PST account
✅Importing into New Outlook (with no duplicate names)

Update 2: Microsoft continues to roll out PST support in New Outlook—and in May 2025, four more features went live.

✅ Group emails into conversations
✅ Reply and forward messages directly from PST (using a connected account)
✅ View limited profile card details
✅ Move messages between PST and mailbox folders via drag-and-drop
