No 'SAVE AS' option for attachments in new Outlook desktop app

Dear All,

Outlook offered to switch my application to the new Outlook version (there is a switch item below the window close button).

It looks like the in-browser version and works better than the former, but it has a missing option in the attachments drop-down menu, called 'save as'.

We get a lot of documents in our emails, which should be saved in different projects' locations on a local hard drive. The in-browser version and the former desktop app have this option but this new app does not.

How can I add this function back again?

Thank you in advance.

Regards,

István

    This new outlook is totally a failure. It takes away all the good features and left us nothing but endless trouble. I am so frustrated with this new outlook!

    +1 from me. How is this not fixed from May? Can't drag/drop either. I was thinking, "no way they'd make it this hard to deal with attachments" and spent 30min trying to find the workflow. doesn't seem to exist. wow. I like the other features, but like others have said, this is a fatal flaw.

    I just decided to test out the new Outlook and when I encountered this issue I immediately searched for it. I am shocked to discover that this was first addressed in May and it's now October and it hasn't been changed. I reverted back to the old Outlook within 10 minutes of trying the new one because of this missing functionality.

    We have outlook/office 365 installed on our desktops, not using it in the cloud, and on the desktop version it has a toggle button "Try the new Outlook" and you can just turn it off and go backwards. Same thing in Teams "Try the new Teams", but I haven't done.

    Its October and this still hasn't been added. Im going back to the old version and hope that they get this fixed very soon. Very disappointing in my opinion.
