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

    You cannot drag from the inbox to the calendar either. That is an absolute must. It is so quick and efficient to create meeting invites in the classic Outlook by dragging from the Inbox to the Calendar.

    Also you cant drag a attachment and drop it somewhere else like in another email or folder.

    I fixed the problem… I bought a Mac pro and it’s the best thing I ever did!

    Good luck to everybody else still trying to figure the mess out.

    It looks like since the original question was posted, Microsoft has resolved the issue. At least it has on my computer lol;) We all know how those problems that are specific to the user are;) Good luck and glad this functionality has returned.
