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

    Doesn't work any more. I tried it and worked when you proposed it, but now has stopped doing it. Maybe Microsoft does its best to make our lives difficult

    How come? Microsoft don't even know that they have new Outlook. The issue has been unsolved for more than a year.

    OMG!

    The solution from Sherry DOES NOT work in Google Chrome. I have the option turned on to ask me where to download. This works everywhereI download something in Chrome except Outlook (browser version). It does not prompt , just saves in Downloads. 😡
