Since Outlook 365 was updated I can't drag my email to create a calendar event. I do this nearly every day (often multiple times). Bring it back please!!!!

    The new Outlook gave me a "feedback" pop-up today! Spam them with this thread. Be dramatic.

    When you do this, it does work, but it sets a meeting for everyone on the last email, e.g. I tried it and it set an appointment for everyone in the company as it was a mass email about a training course.

    Thanks Microsoft.

    They also removed the ability to drag tasks between different lists in the ToDo app. Frustrating.

    Dragging from email to calendar did work in classic outlook. It doesn't work in my new Outlook 365. Please investigate further and send updated instructions.

    Were you able to find a solution? I have been so frustrated with the new Outlook. The best workaround I can come up with is to use the "create a meeting request" feature, then when the popup shows up, I delete the original sender so I'm not actually creating a meeting with them. I just need to drop the email into my calendar as a way to schedule my to-do's and projects (I don't like using To-Do).
