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

    We don't all have a choice. Company decides.

    Now it is October and the issue is still not fixed. The new Outlook looks like Teams used to do, with smileys and no option to "Save as..." when downloading attachments.

    Now the old Outlook doesn't work anymore, it just automatically switches back to the new Outlook.

    Is it somehow related to security, that you do not allow downloads to user specified locations?

    I strongly agree with those who wish to see a return of the "Save As" function in the New Outlook. I tried the New Outlook some months ago but reverted to the old version immediately because of this lack of functionality. I can't have all attachments dumped into the OneDrive Attachments folder by default as this is extremely impractical. I checked again today and see that the issue still has not been addressed. I won't move voluntarily to the New Outlook as long as it lacks a "Save As" function as the older version.

    Hello,

    It is mid-September now and this function is still missing in Outlook. Is Microsoft really working on it?

    Best,

    DS

    And no ability to drag and drop to SharePoint. That is a huge issue as well.
