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

    …And/or you can “act as if your replying, forwarding, but don’t actually reply” select your image, right click and all buttons will appear. Be sure to discard your reply though.

    I need to save images to a network drive. So, I stumbled on a way by clicking on that image first, right click, then a box comes up to “save picture as.” Only problem I find with that is you have to type in each time a “file name” I need an all attachments save button.

    Was able to find the Save As function this way...but when clicked, nothing happened. That said, it seems like there is a way for them to just move this functionality inside the main App window. Also, I still want to be able to Drag N Drop into a folder on Windows Explorer. That's the key.

    If you're using the desktop version of the New Outlook, you'll need to click the Open in New Window button (see red arrow), and then you will have the option to right-click to Save As. CTRL+S will also allow you to Save As the document without having to download it.

    If you're using Outlook in the browser, you can just Preview the attachment and RIGHT-CLICK to get the SAVE AS option in the drop-down menu.

    I'm definitely not seeing this option. Do you have a screenshot? This option does not exist in the version of Outlook I'm running...
