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

    March 31, 2024, looks like this thread has been open for ONE YEAR now and no help from MS.

    Recently began using Windows 11 - began a new job and decided to just take the offered PC laptop rather than force myself with my unsupported MacBook on the company.

    What a MESS Windows and the PC software are, compared to how smoothly everything runs on Mac OS.

    Oh, well, c'est la vie, I guess. Add my desperate plea for a Save As... function on attachments.

    AaraujoR,

    Look like just a place to vent since there has been not change or response from MS.

    Will MS allow the original Outlook to survive? I doubt it. History shows that they stop older versions of apps to force users to switch to new ones.
