I have just switched to "New Outlook" from the classic Outlook. For years I have used the Ctrl+Shift+V shortcut to quickly move a message to a folder and open the "previous" message. I am looking for a similar shortcut in "New Outlook".

    Just to clarify... With Old Outlook, I could hold the [Ctrl] key while dragging and dropping a message to copy it to a new folder.

    With New Outlook, that method is no longer an option, correct? Even holding [Ctrl], dragging and dropping results in the message be moved rather than copied.

    How about drag and drop from outlook to a computer folder, or desktop?

    When processing multiple messages that get sent to multiple folders the SHIFT-CTRL-V is much faster. To Drag & Drop you have to go back to the main listing for every message.

    Hi Khou Sun,

    When will the feature be brought back?? When a user has an email popped out/open, there is still nowhere to click for "Move to a folder". Not sure why this feature wasn't incorporated into the "New" outlook as it was just as essential as "reply" and definitely more important to most users than "Assign policy", but I digress. Can this be passed along to the dev team working on this?? Thanks so much ;).

    Sincerely,

    Kara B

    This missing functionality alone is the reason I'm reverting back to the old version. I need to be able to move a message right from the popped out email.
