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!!!!

    Dragging from email to calendar did work in classic outlook. It doesn't work in my new Outlook 365. Please investigate further and send updated instructions.

    When you do this, it does work, but it sets a meeting for everyone on the last email, e.g. I tried it and it set an appointment for everyone in the company as it was a mass email about a training course.

    Thanks Microsoft.

    They also removed the ability to drag tasks between different lists in the ToDo app. Frustrating.

    When I drag and drop from my email to calendar, it creates the calendar item, but no longer includes all the text from the original email. I like the continuity because it helps me keep track of tasks for that particular event.

    The new Outlook gave me a "feedback" pop-up today! Spam them with this thread. Be dramatic.
