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!

    Almost a year since the original request and Microsoft's reply that 'this isn't currently available' - it would seem, given the time elapsed, that there is no intention on MS's part to include this much-needed feature otherwise we would have seen something by now. Please tell me this is not so!

    Microsoft needs to prioritize this request and work on pushing this feature in the upcoming release. This is a major part of the Information Governance strategy that we develop with our clients where we educate and train them on the best use case for using the right components within M365 to achieve better compliance and productivity. This is by moving records or long-term business productivity information in the email to one of the group repositories like SharePoint or Teams for long-term storage preservation, retention, and group collaboration. Users are not going to buy in if every time they have to toggle the 'New Outlook' button to drag emails or attachments that they want to move to the group areas. For some clients, the option to switch to the previous version may not be even available if it is pushed to everyone's throat via GPO

    Same issue for me. And why can't I choose where a download is being saved? It just says One Drive. That's ridiculous. Microsoft really screwed up with this version of Outlook. How do you make such rookie level design mistakes after all these years of having Outlook in market? It's unbelievable.

    Absolutely this needs to be fixed ASAP!

    Here I am at our office telling others to go ahead and try out the "New Outlook" and how great it is and then this deal breaker... can't drag and drop emails.

    Come on Microsoft, fix this fast.
