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

Yes, it is extremely important for me (and my business) to be able to save attachments in different folders. PLEASE add this missing feature to the most recent version of Outlook!
Agreed. Total BS. That (the BS) seems to be the MS focus area these days.
Last night I spoke in length with a online chat representative from Microsoft. I asked the simple question… Where is the “save as” option. I was told they are still working on the actual Outlook platform and are just in the experimental phase of it. I then proceeded to tell him to quit hyping everyone up and telling us the old outlook will be phased out soon before your new program isn’t even running correctly. You’re giving people a lot of anxiety! He apologized and said he will talk to the writers of the program again. Sounds like a lot of BS to me.
I told the representative he better hurry up and speak to someone because I’m thinking of going with a Mac computer at this point.
I fully agree. I also need to save client emails on other drives, so the "Save As" is vital if I decide to stay with Me Outlook.
This whole thing is ridiculous.
This is absolutely ridiculous! How hard is it to put the “save as” option for attachments? This has been going on for months with many people complaining that it is interfering with their job performance. I have to stay with the old Outlook because I can not complete my job with no “save as” option in the new Outlook.
.. and now you want to inform us all that the old outlook will be phased out by the end of 2024! What do you think we are all supposed to do without being able to save our attachments to our files? I know there have been some directions given by some on how to do this… But that adds on way too much time to my job without just having a normal “save as” option. Get with it Microsoft!
