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

    Have to revert to classic unfortunately, as this still isn't resolved.

    +1 from me. How is this not fixed from May? Can't drag/drop either. I was thinking, "no way they'd make it this hard to deal with attachments" and spent 30min trying to find the workflow. doesn't seem to exist. wow. I like the other features, but like others have said, this is a fatal flaw.

    Related, you can also no longer drag the file from outlook directly into a folder.

    This new outlook is totally a failure. It takes away all the good features and left us nothing but endless trouble. I am so frustrated with this new outlook!

    I agree. It's junk and to add insult to injury, MS has not bothered to respnd to the no "Save As" issue even though 6 months have passed since the matter was first raised. I think its time to move on from Outlook to another app that is more responsive to user needs.
