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!

    Now if want to attach an email you have drag drop on left side of the email else it get uploaded as onedrive. Why? Does the people who make this actually use this?

    What a completely inept way to roll out a new version. Drag and drop from an email is such a critical feature, I can't believe the outlook team messed this up so badly that we have to wait for it to be added back as a feature.

    Hi,

    I'm having the same issue. We deal with big number of attachments and downloading each one to then file is a nightmare. Unfortunately, in my case going back to the old outlook version didn't solve the issue. After I got the new version the old one stopped working, I don't receive any emails if I turn on the old version. So I'm stuck with the new one.

    Other features that are not user friendly:

    • The fact that you can't simply remove an attachment is another feature that was key on our daily work.
    • the send/receive icon disappear from the bar (I read there is a "sync this folder" tool but still haven't been able to find it - I don't have the "Send/Receive" tab in the ribbon.)
    • Every time I click in the outlook icon in the ribbon at the bottom of my screen, it doesn't take me to the already opened outlook, it opens a whole new window. Before I notice I have 5 outlook windows open.

    I also agree, it is extremely frustrating to no longer be able to drag and drop files. I also deal with a heavy load of invoices. Having to download them first then download them from the cloud is completely counterproductive. Microsoft, please listen and fix the issue!

    MS, you're advising to revert back to the "old" Outlook, but my button to do so is completely gone!
