I can't believe I have to ask something so dumb but how to I make Outlook ask me every time where to save the email attachments that I am downloading instead of automatically putting them in the Downloads folder?
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management

This is a huge oversight on the new Outlook version. I can only save attachments to OneDrive default folder or Downloads folder. I need to be able to Save As to any directory to organize attachments sent to me. This is silly.
Also, I can't add image borders/effects to all my emailed snips any more, only can send basic images.
I have the same issue....this is in the "New Outlook" for desktop. It is beyond frustrating as I want to save certain attachments to different folders but it gives no option. It just says "I'm putting it here and go find it and move it yourself"....lol.
Hello,
I too started using the "New Outlook" and found the absence of a download location option a glaring oversite. I thought I had found a workaround, which was to click on the attachment, then, in the preview window, right-click and choose "Save As". I was like, YES!, but sadly, clicking Save As does ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. Ugh!
Yeah, I tried every solution I could think of before posting something here. It's just not possible. I have 3 different Outlook versions and I use all three of them for separate functions because they don't all do the same thing. It's really dumb.
Standard, eh! Thanks for letting me know anyway.
