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

    A year later and this still isn't a thing.

    Still not found the "save as" option for attachment. Only and drop the email instead of attachment. My version is not updated?

    the three dots save the actual email and not the attachment BUT you can now save attachments to different locations - not just OneDrive and the drag and drop feature is also working. Thank you Microsoft for listening to our suggestions and fixing this.

    I just checked my Outllook Desktop and the "Save As" feature is there - finally. I can now choose which local folders I want to save email and/or attachments in.

    Click on the 3 dots to open the options. Scroll down to Save As and its is the same as it was in the old Outlook.
