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!!!!

MS have set the status of this to "open" so just need more people to create traction. :)
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.
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.

Yes, and it rejects it and creates a draft in the email I am trying to create a calendar event with.
I have tried dragging the email to the 'My Day' icon as pictured and that isn't working for me either.
