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 only thing I can 'save as' is the email itself, but when clicking the drop down arrow on an attachment the only option I get is to 'save to OneDrive' which doesn't let me choose the destination folder.

    If i click download it now gives me the option to choose where to save it. not sure if this may be a setting option but it does work somehow.

    I find that the Save As option is there in the new Outlook pull down menu and it seems to function the same way as Save As in the Windows Mail app.

    Still no save as, just downloads to an 'attachments' folder in OneDrive
