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!!!!

    Have you figured out how to make it an appointment vs a meeting invite that includes the sender + other recipients? I have a quick step set up where I can turn an email into an appointment so it just shows up on my calendar but it with the new Outlook it seems like now I can only create a meeting and would need to remember to remove all other attendees.

    Would strongly suggest people here upvoted and commented on the MS Feedback Portal.

    Link below to the most relevant one I could find:
    Drag email into Calendar · Community (microsoft.com)

    MS have set the status of this to "open" so just need more people to create traction. :)

    Seriously?!!! Between losing this email drag ability and the Read Aloud feature I really think you all fell asleep at the wheel on these updates. Please get these features added back ASAP. It's clear users rely on them and it's make our work day that much longer without them. So Facebook-like with the random unhelpful software updates here. WTH, Microsoft?!!!

    Also just noticed this little beauty that Microsoft slipped in. Do they sometimes give product design to graduates?

    Everyone I know uses this feature. Going to be fun when they are all forced to "upgrade".

    Sorry, yes, I had switched back to the prior version. Not as nice as Outlook 2003 before the stupid useless ribbon, but at least it is something.
