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

    Hello,

    It is mid-September now and this function is still missing in Outlook. Is Microsoft really working on it?

    Best,

    And no ability to drag and drop to SharePoint. That is a huge issue as well.

    Still no fix. Outlook has now forced me to use the new version and can not save how I want.

    A gentle reminder to all those tired of waiting for Microsoft to act on the basic and fundamental issue. There are other email clietns out there that do have "Save As" as well any many other featuers of Outlook. I got tired of waiting and switched.

    How is this difficult to add in?

    Having me download the file then open up file explorer, navigate to the location I actually want this file to be in, and then move it, every single time is rant worthy.

    Why we can't even drag the file anywhere? Drag and dropping to the file explorer would prevent this agony also.

    Not cool.
