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!!!!

    Using the My Day worked for me, but could they have not made this a little more user-intuitive? I don't keep the My Day open because it takes up too much space. So, instead of dragging to my calendar icon, I now have to click the My Day icon, drag the email, and then close the My Day.

    It doesn't work for me either. There are a few features I really like on this new version but this is a major loss, really annoying. I also the change in design really makes me feel lost. I have made it as compact as possible but I'm still feeling like I'm missing things.

    Agree. The only way to keep my day to day straight and not forget things is to drag emails into my calendar for reminders. Otherwise they must stay in my Inbox taking up space every day. Between this feature and removing the option to customize Inbox Columns (where is the "To" option!), there are some serious flaws with the upgrade. I hope they fix these issues, ASAP.

    Yes, please bring this back. The New Outlook has lost a few key functions, but this really is major as it is causing an inefficiency for the user. Please bring back the drop email into calendar to create a new event feature.

    Yes, I do this, however, it creates an event that includes invitation to all the people in the e-mail, so I have to delete each person individually. My organization often has tens if not a hundred people that I have to delete each time. Not a good fix and takes much longer than just drag and drop, pick time. You can't even highlight all attendees to delete, you have to "x" each one.
