Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
And here we are almost one year later, and this feature that was a major omission is still not there.
This browser is no longer supported.
Upgrade to Microsoft Edge to take advantage of the latest features, security updates, and technical support.
I recently switched over to try the "New Outlook". In the older layout version of Outlook, when downloading an attachment I had multiple options on how that attachment could be saved to my computer. The main option I utilized was simply " Save As". In the "New Outlook" version, that option is no longer there. Is there a way to customize the options you see when downloading an attachment? Here are the options it gives:
-Edit in Browser
-Edit in Excel desktop app (it was an excel file in this case)
-Save to OneDrive
-Download
The old options would have:
-Preview
-Open
-Quick Print
-Save As
Save All Attachments
-Upload
-Remove Attachment
-Copy
-Select All
Really looking for the "Save As" option so I can navigate to the final destination folder.
Thanks.

Yep, Its not available and a real pain.
I have changed my print function to print to pdf.
When I click print it auto wants to print to PDF and on completion ask for the selected folder.
This is the fastest way I know to down load to a preferred location.
No, simply copying / dragging into the folder does not work either.
The current "solution" is simply totally inefficient for people who have to work with lots of files in every mail and all the time. It turns one hour into 3 hours of work. Good for those who need occupational therapy. I don't need it. Absolute garbage.
- Open the folder where you want to save the file in Explorer.
- Drag the attachment file from Outlook to Explorer.
That's all.
Have you ever heard "if it aint broke, don't fix it!"??? ****??!! I NEED to be able to designate where my attachments save! PERIOD!! C'mon Microsoft, get your s**t together! I will be gassing this garbage program for one that actually caters to the needs of its users!
Yes, it was letting you click download and choose a save to place for about 3 weeks and then it stopped and back to the old way. Sucks but Save to PDF still works for me so that's what I'll use until they make the other way permanent.
