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

    You legend! Works on Chrome.

    As a side note, it looks like MS has begun to roll out the feature, which could explain the inconsistency:

    Thanks for that.

    I also found other deficiencies with the "New Outlook", such as its handling of time zones (I change time zones once a week and it wasn't automatically adjusting in the Calendar, even though my PC was), so I guess I'll wait until the solution is fully baked to even try it again.

    Good to know something as simple as Save As is being addressed, and/or can be worked around.

    He's talking about changing web browser settings (Chrome, Edge, Firefox etc.)

    For Chrome You can navigate to Settings -> Downloads -> "Ask where to save each file before downloading"

    I'm not sure about other browsers, but I have to assume it is a similar fix.

    I am looking for a desktop solution. I have other issues with the online version because I use categories and MS does not include the same features on a browser unfortunately. I cannot even see categories on my iPad but that is even another issue!
