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!!!!

    Steps I've learned are to use the My Day pane [1], pick the date [2], and then drag the email onto the calendar and it changes to Add as an event [3], You get the email into the appointment [4] and can set it from there. Now just to remember all these steps instead of right-clicking the message!

    Steven,

    This is exactly how it used to work. But now, when I do step 2, it creates a "DRAFT" response in the email under the email that I just dragged/drug over to the calendar. The add event area pops up but only a draft email response is created. That's the part that I cant figure out.

    Well, they definitely did not make it easier (or even keep it as easy as it was), But, it works and I really thank you!

    I had reverted back to my old outlook for the last 3 months because of lacking this feature, but I was missing all of the other updated features. Glad I revisited!

    At Minimum, I would appreciate a basic outline of "Features Changed" when they update a platform... Whether I like the change or not at least I know what changed and possible work around than to be as frustrated with MS for all these months!!

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

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