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

    The problem with that solution is that (in my experience) once you switch to New Outlook, it makes switching back a problem because the software hangs all the time. I'm about to Uninstall and Reinstall everything to try and fix it.

    Outlook MUST have a Save As function. The amount of extra steps this causes me is absolutely ridiculous. I need to be able to Drag/Drop attachments. This is something even Gmail can accomplish. I can open Gmail (in Bing, no less), and open an email with attachments. I can click on the attachment and drag it to a Folder on my OneDrive-enabled, Windows 11 laptop and it saves just fine. How is it possible that I can't achieve this inside Outlook, the Gold Standard of email clients?

    I'm disappointed. This is terrible.

    The fact that this SIMPLIST of functions of missing from New Outlook is a joke. An actual joke! I understand New outlook is still been developed but its like testing a prototype car without indicators installed.

    Come on Microsoft. Its not even April 1st.

    Come on Microsoft. Outlook wants to restart almost every day because of "a new update", but you haven't managed to add this basic function since this thread was opened in May ?!? Do better.
