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

    There seems to be good news (finally) about this:
    https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=&searchterms=167892
    I     just clicked on an attachment in my inbox and the download option allowed me to choose where to file it. (This wasn't the case for me just a few days ago.)

    It looks like since the original question was posted, Microsoft has resolved the issue. At least it has on my computer lol;) We all know how those problems that are specific to the user are;) Good luck and glad this functionality has returned.

    End of Jan '24 and my version of the New Outlook still has this issue.

    Also, I was not able to find the file Saved to OneDrive in my local Downloads folder. Where does this save? OneDrive in Cloud? Very annoying to try to find the file and then save to a suitable folder locally.

    Am going to revert back to Classic.

    I fixed the problem… I bought a Mac pro and it’s the best thing I ever did!

    Good luck to everybody else still trying to figure the mess out.

    I just checked the new version yesterday and the problem is not resolved. I am not sure they will ever fix it.
