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!!!!
Scheduling and managing events using Outlook.com calendar

I agree dragging email to the calendar was one of the better features using Outlook.
A LAME work around with the new and unimproved Outlook is to right click the email, Advanced actions, Create task. It's not the same as the convenience as calendar but it does display on the right side of the display as a task. Not very helpful for people using smaller screens.

I don't see this right click menu option, Advanced Functions.
Is that the NEW Outlook? Do you see the New Outlook in the right top corner of Outlook. When I switch back to the original Outlook 365, dragging email to the calendar works ok.
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.
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".
