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?

Outlook | Windows | Classic Outlook for Windows | For home

    Sometimes I find it absolutely amazing how little they know of their own products. I will switch back to the old Outlook, this new one seems to be a total loss.

    I switched over to the new Outlook in the time that save as was working. However, since I work with a lot of documents, I'm going to have to move back to the old Outlook, which was giving me issues. I love the search function in the "Move to" option, and I like the print option being more accessible in the ribbon. I think the ten seconds delay when sending is great. But the time wasted to move things from the Download folder unfortunately overrides all of the other benefits for me. I will keep monitoring this forum and move back to New Outlook when this gets fixed. If anyone from Microsoft is reading this, please fix the downloading and also add the option for a popup spell check when you send, like the old Outlook.

    every version of MSFT products from windows to office have moved away from useability and moved toward steeling data and making peoples life harder. .... but pretty.. win XP and office 2000 was the last version of MSFT products based around getting a job done. now you have to jump though hoops around advanced features .000001% of users use to just to perform basic tasks. MSFT needs a productivity version.. strip the bells and whistles that waste resources to "look pretty" and give me a software thats useable with little overhead.

    Unbelievable that Microsoft would make a new version like this available and SCREW UP SUCH A BASIC FUNCTION.

    Gawd awful, Microsoft. Nearly unbelievable.
