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

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.

    Print.

    Press Esc. (Closes the Print Dialogue Box)

    In this leftover window, check the top right corner, there is a Save As button.

    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.

    You should probably explain exactly how this feature is working for you...because it's not for thousands of other users ;-)

    I just switched back to old outlook JUST because of that. It is massive GDPR issue if I'm saving organisations documents in my personal onedrive rather than in relevant cloud folders. Since May 2023 it should have been prioritized as a bigger problem unless Microsoft doesn't respect GDPR

    This is an embarrassingly stupid answer. "MS provides no support for its terrible software", is what I read in this response.
