    Hello Microsoft Team,

    NO - the printing option does NOT WORK in the NEW OUTLOOK VERSION of November 2023.

    We wanted to print a draft email from the draft folder and the printing button is desactivated.

    And there is no way to activate the printing button and to print a draft email.

    Such basics must work also in the new version and needs to be corrected.

    Meanwhile, we are moving back to the older Outlook version on which the printing is working fine.

    Thankyou for your reply. My need to print a Draft, is that when preparing an email in the Draft form all tabs appear to be fine. I swap between closing the draft and reopening it several times, to make sure that the message is 'tidy'. However, something seems to happen when 'send' is activated. As when I recheck the email in the 'Send' box, the tabs have moved out of line, and the receiver has ended up with a very unprofessional message. It seems the only way I can be sure of the message looking OK is to prepare firstly a Word document, and then attach that as a File. This can be time consuming for both parties. Hence my query, as I thought if I could print a copy of the Draft message, I would be assured that all would be OK. If you can offer any solution to the dilemma of the changed appearance of the Draft to that of the Sent message it would be helpful. This has only started to happed since the recent changes to the Mail App [Blue Envelope on the Tool Bar].

    As per other replies, there is no such option in the latest version as of 17-Nov-2023 to print a draft in the New Outlook for Windows 11 (NOT the Outlook app part of Office).

    Many times it is required to print a draft for a slew of reasons and so any argument of a draft being an incomplete email, is unacceptable.

    Please advise.

    I also cannot print a draft email - no dots in upper right corner, nor is there a print option, nor can I use Ctrl P. The new Outlook is lacking/removed many of the options I use(d) daily, and am disappointed that there is no remedy or workaround.

    I also cannot print a draft email - there is no 'print' function in the dropdown menu for the three dots as described above. Can this 'missing' function be remedied asap.
