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

    I agree with all your points.

    Hopefully Microsoft sees this thread and implement these changes.

    This whole thread just reaffirms the MS big brother approach is still a thing...

    "You don't need this feature anymore, I know better than you what's good for you, this is how you should do it from now on"

    30 years of being a hostage in MS products because that's what prevails in most companies...

    Good luck to us all!

    I can't believe how we managed to be productive despite all the hurdles and unnecessary difficulties they put in the products...

    And the support doesn't even know what we're asking for here, so whenever the thread became a mess, they simply stopped responding.
