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 have the same problem and this is absolutely insane. I can't even drag images from the email into a folder. It's like no one designing the programs has any understanding of how people actually work.

    What's needed?

    1. bring back the Save As button
    2. allow drag and drop of attachments onto your desktop or into folders.

    These are basic functions! Why are they even missing?

    Bonus request:

    1. Get rid of "Save to OneDrive" as the default across the entire suite of programs. In the real world, most companies who handle secure information do not allow you to save files off premises, period. Not allowed to use Google Drive. Not allowed to use iCloud. Not allowed to use OneDrive.

    Thank you Diana Guedes, Ctrl-S (Save As...) works for me without going back to the Classic.

    This is a massive show stopper. Reverting back to Old Outlook until this is fixed.

    This is a deal breaker for me also. This would double my work when reviewing emails without this option.
