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.

    Is there honestly still no solution? What makes this so complicated? can anyone explain?

    I have in each mail always files to send and to save on my local folders. This is totally inefficient. I try to stick to the old one as long as possible.

    Perhaps in general:

    Dear Microsoft,

    Stop REMOVING options when UPgrading your software.

    Sincerely,

    All your users
