Since Outlook 365 was updated I can't drag my email to create a calendar event.

I think I'm just beaten into submission at this point. There are a couple of additional clicks, and the cheese was moved. But I'm fairly able to create appointments out of emails now. At the very top of the screen, click the calendar with a check box (think its called Outlook Today or something). Then you can drag your email to the resulting window and you get the appointment window with the email details. Hope you find peace in additional clicks.

The issue I have with moving items from the inbox to My Day is that I normally want a calendar event for just myself as a to-do item and I don't want to invite people. Many of these emails I want to follow up on go to distribution lists with hundreds of people on them, and accidentally inviting my company to a personal calendar event is going to happen one day. I had a client reminder on my calendar just this week and the only way I noticed I set it as a meeting was they accepted the meeting invitation.

Can you imagine if I had input sensitive information into that calendar event based off the original email?

I want the option to turn off inviting people to events that are dragged to My Day, and I want this as default, since I never create client meetings based off an email. I will always craft a proper meeting agenda with a new calendar invite.

Man, that's got to be annoying. Bring back the drag-drop option. Then it can be an event for yourself, or add ppl as needed!

Microsoft, please fix it!

I use drag-from-email-to-calendar multiple times per day. Not having this feature in the "New Outlook" is a show-stopper, so I cannot use the new version in its current state. I'm going back to Classic Outlook for now. Some of the new features are great, but not having this feature doesn't work for me.

To be clear you need to click the "my day" icon from the top bar (to the left of minimise, notifications, settings etc.) to expand the my day panel if you don't already have it displayed, then drag the email onto here as you used to with the calendar icon.

Kind of an extra step, but the functionality is still there. Thanks Matthew for pointing this out.
