Thank you very much for your video.

So if I understanded correctly, MS are forcing users onto a subscription service to continue to use Outlook on desktop. Office/outlook365 and instead of using desktop based storage i.e. PST and OST file archives in favour of less secure cloud based storage. Thanks.

Qwell666 I am in the same boat as you. I use several POP3 accounts. They are for outlook.com email addresses. I have Outlook 2021. I would like to continue storing my email on my computer. I would appreciate instructions from MS on how to do this?

I chose POP3 accounts because I can have a single inbox (using the same PST file). If I can't continue using the same data file it is a huge step backwards.

I have scoured the internet looking for answers, but have failed. Could a MS rep please help ASAP?
