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

    I did the same - went back to Mail immediately. What bugs me is this statement from MS - "If you're not interested in trying the new Outlook for Windows, you can stop using Windows Mail and Calendar and instead manage your email and calendar through your service’s webmail application, or a different email client. Support for Windows Mail, Calendar, and People is ending in 2024." It seems that they don't give a damn and even a tiny fix like this, which so many have been asking for, is not worth their time. Goodbey Outlook/Mail and hello Mozilla or one of the otehr clients.

    WOW! Says a lot about what they think about the people who pay their wages, that's a shocking statement. Maybe we all need to vote with our feet. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    I just decided to test out the new Outlook and when I encountered this issue I immediately searched for it. I am shocked to discover that this was first addressed in May and it's now October and it hasn't been changed. I reverted back to the old Outlook within 10 minutes of trying the new one because of this missing functionality.

    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.
