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.

    Mine has the option now to "Add to Favorites" however it doesn't do anything! In the classic Outlook, my "Favorites" would populate to the top of my folders, but not here. I have no idea what "Add to Favorites" does for me. This is so frustrating.

    I am also facing the same issue. I have to frequently check back the shared folder when i want to access it and it becomes cumbersome. Please include it when the final version is released.
