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!!!!

    Dear mxMikeNR,
    Thanks for showing your attempt to solve our issue, but the main drawbacks of your approach are:

    * It requires more clicks

    * It includes by default all the people who received the email (so they need to be manually removed)

    * It creates a Teams meeting by default, which also needs to be removed

    This implies a significant loss of time for people who used to use the drag-and-drop method on the old version.

    James,

    I'm using the "new" Outlook. Check out the picture...

    I agree, this is a deal-breaker for me. I switched to the new version and switched back. Being able to both schedule the time and keep all pertinent e-mail contained information with the appointment is essential.

    Thank you - I appreciate the video.

    When I pull the email into the calendar in "My day" it also invites everyone in the email to the meeting. I don't want this. I use the email to schedule time in my calendar to do the task associated with the email.

    I wish there was an option to "add all people on email" or not.
