These instructions assume you've already exported your Outlook email, contacts, and calendar from another instance of Outlook, and now you want to import them to Outlook 2013, Outlook 2016, or your Office 365 mailbox.
-
At the top of your Outlook 2016 or 2013 ribbon, choose File.
If your ribbon doesn't have a File option in the top left corner, you aren't using an Outlook app installed on your computer. See What version of Outlook do I have? to find your version of Outlook and to get to right import steps.
-
Choose Open & Export > Import/Export. This starts the wizard.
-
Choose Import from another program or file, and then click Next.
-
Choose Outlook Data File (.pst) and click Next.
-
Browse to the .pst file you want to import. Under Options, choose how you want to deal with emails and contacts, then choose Next.
-
If a password was assigned to the Outlook Data File (.pst), enter the password, and then click OK.
-
If you're importing the contents of your .pst file into your Office 365 mailbox, choose that mailbox here.
If you're NOT importing into your Office 365 mailbox, choose Import items into the current folder. This imports the data into the folder currently selected.
-
Choose Finish. Outlook starts importing the contents of your .pst file immediately. It's finished when the progress box goes away.
