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

There seems to be good news (finally) about this:

I just clicked on an attachment in my inbox and the download option allowed me to choose where to file it. (This wasn't the case for me just a few days ago.)
Not to be celebrated. You still have to click on the file and then click on the dots and then save as. At least, there is "A" way, but still not as efficient as normal Outlook. Imagine having five (5) attachments; you have to click on each and then the dots and then save as. In normal Outlook, I can just right-click on an attachment and save it where I want. Even better, I can click and drag the files to a folder of my choosing.
The work around I found for "File Save As" is Download, which then opens your file explorer options to save to a server or other location.
Hallelujah! I don’t know why but I went and checked out the new Outlook just now. The Save As option is finally working properly!! Clicking on the 3 dots opens Save As. Click on that and you have the option of saving to a folder of your choice. It took a long time, but maybe the problem is finally resolved!
I agree and am working with friends here in India to get people to leave Outlook. When people see the history of the problem, they tend to want to leave.
