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!
Using Classic Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I had one of my users have this issue. The reason why is because outlook new will save it as a .eml format and not .msg. Instructed user to use Outlook classic for the dragging/dropping functionality. You can still save as from the Outlook new into a directory but it is extra steps.
I also have this same issue, not being able to drag and drop into the email so it goes as an attachment and not a link.
Email is often used to send invoices to customers and once saved you just drag it from the download that pops up and then drag it over to the email and boom ready to go, so fast and efficient
Having to go and upload to the email is very time consuming and not efficient AT ALL to those who send hundreds of invoices a day.
Why is it this way in the "web" version anyway, this is why no one wants to move to the new web version and who is Microsoft really catering to ?
This is an issue for my company as well. Please let me know that your position on this issue, whether it is fixed as a bug or not at all. We have decisions to make on my end.
also, what I found with the windows 11 is that geared toward apps instead of program installation (old school way) try uninstalling outlook and reinstall through the app store.
There might be something else going on. Can you drag and drop anything to any other location (not just email)? If you can drag and drop in other apps then it's definitely outlook oriented, if you can't drag and drop elsewhere then you might want to try restarting your machine.
