How do I import PST into desktop Outlook?

You will receive two PST files one for email and one for contacts.


Windows users:  PST files only work in classic Outlook. The new Outlook for Windows can't open or import them — if you don't see File → Open & Export, you're in new Outlook.



Switch the New Outlook toggle in the top-right corner off, then follow the steps below.


  1. In Outlook, Go to File and click on Open & Export.
    • Select Open Outlook Data File

  1. Choose your PST file.
    • Your contacts will be located under Exported Contacts in the address book.

    • Your emails will be found under a folder labeled email.pst.
