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

    Have to revert to classic unfortunately, as this still isn't resolved.

    I did the same - went back to Mail immediately. What bugs me is this statement from MS - "If you're not interested in trying the new Outlook for Windows, you can stop using Windows Mail and Calendar and instead manage your email and calendar through your service’s webmail application, or a different email client. Support for Windows Mail, Calendar, and People is ending in 2024." It seems that they don't give a damn and even a tiny fix like this, which so many have been asking for, is not worth their time. Goodbey Outlook/Mail and hello Mozilla or one of the otehr clients.

    WOW! Says a lot about what they think about the people who pay their wages, that's a shocking statement. Maybe we all need to vote with our feet. Thanks for taking the time to respond.

    I am still on the old version. Looking for an alternative since Microsoft has not fixed this issue.

    Thank you Brenda, really appreciate your response!
