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 agree, it is confusing and very time consuming. I just spent the better part of an hour to look at fixing this. I would actually prefer you rolled out new versions when they are ready or without hugely important elements like these missing. I am running a small office and have lots of attachments to deal with and figuring out the latest changes in Microsoft, which I was happy with in the first place, takes up too much of my time. I would really prefer fewer and completely thought through changes.

    This is a community discussion forum, so who knows if MS even looks at it. You can send feedback directly to MS - in Outlook click File and in the sidebar on the left at the bottom you should see an option "Feedback". I hope they start to get the message, this problem in particular is a nightmare. I now send a Feedback message about this issue _every Friday_ as part of my closing up for the weekend routine. I encourage others to do the same. Squeaky wheels and all that.
