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

    FINALLY! I could not find my way back to this thread to update, and I've been waiting for a reply notification. They updated this about a week, maybe two weeks ago. This was such a small and dumb yet biggest annoyance ever, and it's finally fixed! Thank you for posting the change :)

    I had someone that actually reached out as they preferred the attachments automatically going into the downloads folder as it was a 1 click experience.

    I couldn't find any option to specify download to "Downloads" or ask every time like Edge for example has.

    Is this something we can change back?

    Client Version is 20240126002.12
