    I also would like the drag-drop email/calendar function back. I use a calendar to plan my day; I do not need another tool. If people want to use this tool, great. We used to drag an email to the calendar—done! Simple. I can reference the entire email and adjust it accordingly in seconds; whatever Microsoft has butchered it into is not user-friendly. For the love of sanity, please bring back the drag email and drop-in calendar function. It was so easy to plan my life. I tried the drag an email to My Day, the tick, whatever... I get a black circle of nonsense, it doesn't work; if it requires me to open a window, right-click, do a half-baked workaround, and it doesn't end up in my calendar....forget about it. I don't want friction; I want a seamless user experience where I don't need to think about the process; one click - to my calendar with the entire email, done. Bring it back, please. Seriously, Microsoft, bring it back. Please!!!!!

    Ridiculous that they removed this function. Nobody wants a separate tracker in "My Day"

    I've spent some time today trying to find a tricky way to make it work, a workaround, or turning off extensions or using a different browser etc. Nothing seems to work. I'm starting to believe that the people who engineer/design this software do not use it daily at work.
