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.

    Unbelievable - They don't include basic existing functionality like Save As...

    Unbelievable - You can't even drag and drop to file explorer

    Unbelievable - The Microsoft moderator didn't know there was a new version of Outlook

    Unbelievable - The moderator ran away 3 months ago... there's a constant stream of customer complaints, and they're silent!

    I was fearful when a previous poster said they switched back and then had no emails available from the period they were using the new version!

    Has anyone else experienced this? That would even be more Unbelievable!!!

    I switched back last night (after spending some sweaty hours trying to find work that had been saved in some random place) and yes the emails were missing at first, but they all downloaded within a couple of minutes.
