Hi! I am confronted with the following problem: when wanting to import the existing email archive in Outlook for Mac, I have to use the legacy version, because the 'new' version doesn't allow it (yet?). Unfortunately, because Yahoo have decided to block the use of Outlook by removing their 'app password' feature from their website, I cannot use the Yahoo mail account in the legacy version, because Yahoo does not accept the 'real' Yahoo password when using Outlook 365 for Mac. I can access the Yahoo mail account in the 'new Outlook for Mac' version, but then I cannot import the email archives - the 'On your computer' feature. So, I am burnt one way or the other. Browsing on this forum I saw that a beta version of Outlook for Mac (in the 16.68xxxxx) has the import activated, but, my official version 16.69 does NOT. So: when will this oh so handy feature be available??
