How to change download destination in "New Outlook" (May 2023)

Anonymous

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:

  • Preview

-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.

    This is not a good work around for people who need to rename the folder before saving.

    Absolutely agree! This is garbage. Your post was almost a year ago and the issue remains unaddressed.

    I just leave feedback from the help menu in outlook. I don't think it ever asked me to give them data collected. But if that's where you are leaving feedback then may not be able to do so.

    Hi,

    I attempted to raise the support request as suggested in the official reply but I am unable to do so without approving data collection.
    Is there a feature request action that does not require log files etc?

    Cheers

    Steve

    Right, why on Earth would Microsoft design a new Outlook without the same features that the old Outlook has. This is a basic feature. Yes, I know I can move it once its in my downloads folder but for many people who extract documents routinely sent via email, this is absurd.
