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

    This is a community discussion forum, so who knows if MS even looks at it. You can send feedback directly to MS - in Outlook click File and in the sidebar on the left at the bottom you should see an option "Feedback". I hope they start to get the message, this problem in particular is a nightmare. I now send a Feedback message about this issue _every Friday_ as part of my closing up for the weekend routine. I encourage others to do the same. Squeaky wheels and all that.

    As my grandmother would say, if it had been a snake, it would have bit me.

    I still have to cut and paste the files to where I need them (it would be great if I could still specify where they are saved rather than having all of them go in one folder), but the files are there!!!!
