I don't object to the New Outlook; I object to the lack of a conversion facility to move my "old" Outlook data to the new Outlook.

Paul_F I have been thinking about how to "migrate" PST to a server so you can view it all in New Outlook. Typically it's a manual import/export. I am hoping MS puts in a "Migrate button" in Classic or New Outlook and it configures for you. Once you move to Exchange business or Outlook.com, no PST needed then and everything sings much better. PST is not ready yet for fulltime use.
