    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!!!!!

    Hi, I have been using the drag to calendar for years. Why on earth would MSFT think this could be removed???

    I just updated Outlook to version 1.2024.313.100 and created an event for an email. Apparently, for some ungodly reason, Outlook decided I wanted to invite everyone on the email to the event.

    What were you smoking when you changed this functionality???

    How do we get the old functionality back???

    I realize they are moving us away from full function desktop apps, but deprecating convenience is an easy way to promote Google Apps.

    Has anyone been able to figure out how to add an email to an existing Calendar item?
