Add folder from a shared mailbox to favorites

Hi,

I am using the "new" Outlook for Windows. It seems that it is no longer possible to move a folder from a shared mailbox to the favorites folder. This used to be possible in the "old" version. Is this feature gone or am I overlooking something?

Thanks for your help.

    Thank you!

    That's off, although running the same version I don't have that option so maybe will follow in a later update for me. the only options I have when I like on the inbox 3 little dots are below.

    Go to the Shared with me folders, expand the mailbox, click the dots behind the folder name and select "Add to favorites"

    I have the same build, but I can't seem to find any new context menu option to add an inbox folder under 'Shared with Me' to Favourites.

    I can pin the Favourites section so it floats above other items, but when I try to add it from there, it only allows me to pin the contact.
