how do I import pst files to outlook.com?

1. Which is the version of Outlook installed on the system (2003/2007/2010)?

2. Are you trying to import the PST files to webmail?

If yes, then it is not possible to import the PST files saved on the system to Outlook.com.

However you may configure the outlook.com account in Outlook as MAPI account, import the PST files to Outlook.com account configured in Outlook so that the mails may be synchronized with webmail.

Follow the steps mentioned below to configure the email account.

If Outlook Connector is not installed on the system download and install it from the link mentioned below:

·         Select the option Manually configure server settings or additional server types and click Next.

·         Choose the option Other, select Microsoft Outlook Hotmail Connector and click Next.

The same way as for any other account. You first configure the account in Outlook and then import the data. You could also simply move the content within Outlook from the connected pst-file to Outlook.com account.
