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?

What I do now is that I use regular Outlook if I need to save a file and PRE Outlook for other things. Three apps are needed to have one mildly funcional.
I've gone back to the browser version, because of the saving thing. I like the desktop version too (not the new one), but it's basically the same as the browser version. I have 3 different PCs and a Mac that I use on a regular basis, so the browser version is best for me anyway.
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.
Same issue. Back to the old version I guess! The other issue with the new version is that if you sort the inbox by name, you cannot type the letters for the name you are looking for to quickly get to 'c' names for example. You have to scroll. new version is not good!
I have the same issue and its annoying to having to copy every single download from the downloads folder to the folder of your choice.
