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
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
End of Jan '24 and my version of the New Outlook still has this issue.
Also, I was not able to find the file Saved to OneDrive in my local Downloads folder. Where does this save? OneDrive in Cloud? Very annoying to try to find the file and then save to a suitable folder locally.
Am going to revert back to Classic.
This is a issue that a generated a lot of discussion. MS seems to have gone to sleep or has reached a level of incompetence where even reinstating such a basic, but essential, feature is beyond their ailities. Or perhaps they are unable to understand what Outlook users want and need. Either way, I think the folks at MS are more to be pitied than censured. So sad to see the low levels of functionality that they are sinking to.
Hello,
I recently switched to the "New Outlook" and was surprised to find that the "Save As" feature is no longer available. As a result, attachments are downloaded to the "Downloads" folder and then need to be manually transferred to the desired location, which was an option in the previous version. The previous version had a setting that would prompt users to select a download location for each document.
Ironically, Microsoft overlooked such a practical feature. The new version is not an improvement over the previous one; in fact, it's a step backwards. Microsoft should take such matters seriously and thoroughly test their products before releasing them.
If you click on the attachment and open the PREVIEW, and then RIGHT-CLICK, the option to SAVE AS is available in the drop-down menu.
I agree. It's junk and to add insult to injury, MS has not bothered to respnd to the no "Save As" issue even though 6 months have passed since the matter was first raised. I think its time to move on from Outlook to another app that is more responsive to user needs.
