I like the new look for new outlook, but the problem I am having is that you cannot use drag and drop feature. I don't want to download all the content because I deal with heavy amount of invoices. I hope this is great feedback for Microsoft and get raised attention and get quickly implemented. Hope to get a quick response and help. Thanks for the support!

    This "new outlook" seems like is still in alpha testing. Lot's of missing features and very few settings available. Many features lacking as others pointed out plus lots of little bugs that are very annoying.

    MS is famous for removing features that most users love without any logical reason (i.e.: "never combine task bar" in Win 11) but this new outlook went even beyond what is normal for MS.

    That is the most amateur release I have seem.

    This is a HUGE problem and renders the new Outlook useless. To suggest drag and drop as a "new feature" is laughable. We've all come to depend on this feature and I can't fathom how someone made the decision to release this version without it.

    It feels like Microsoft is trying to force us to use One Drive for EVERYTHING, meaning all of our content ends up in the cloud -- or the Downloads folder. What can the rationale for taking away this feature possibly be?

    This is a deal-breaker for me using the new Outlook.

    Also frustrated with the lack of drag and drop from Outlook into a folder or other location. This software is used in many workplaces and it's needlessly inefficient to have to save the email and then drag and drop.

    Really need to be able to drag and drop attachments from email to Windows Explorer, and into Sharepoint/web browsers

    How do you open more than one email at a time? Each time I click back on Inbox the original email closes down.
