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.

    Please be aware that Archive option is not yet available. Or if it is already available doesn't archive to de right folder. All the archived items will be appear in your main account folder, not to the shared mailbox archive folder. So, be careful. I think it isn't yet the time to celebrate!...

    Confirming an "Add To Favorites" with yellow star folder icon is now present and functional in right-click context menu for shared mailbox folders in Microsoft® Outlook® (Classic) for Microsoft 365 MSO (Version 2504 Build 16.0.18730.20122) 64-bit, and also that this option remains ABSENT for archived folders.
