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 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!

    Hi folks,

    Just got around to it in a different way. Try changing the browser setting for downloads and it worked for me.

    settings - downloads- "Ask where to save each file before downloading" - tick this ON.

    hope this helps

    Is there any point in continuing this discussion? MS obviously either does not care about what I presume they think is a small minority of users or and unable to fix this minor flaw. I have been following this topic since the beginning and while there have been a few half-baked promises of action, nothing happens. In my case it is not just saving attachments that is the problem, I also need to save emails to local folders on my hard drive. I have given up hope of anything happening. Thank God for alternatives like Thunderbird.

    It's not showing up here yet. New Outlook still doesn't allow me to save files (they get saved to nowhere - I can't find them) or drag and drop them. I can't even ACCESS the files I get as attachments. I'm begging, please fix this.
