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!

    Hi.

    Yup. Agree with all the users' replies. As if Microsoft focused on the "look" but not the "feel".

    Many productivity features are missing.

    So far what I've encountered:

    • No selectable default download location, and no "Save As..."
    • No resend email option.
    • No "outlook item" (message) attachment.
    • Some Text formatting option are missing.
      • And when applying some it sometimes behaves awkward.
    • The pop-up windows "close" button is off (GUI issue). Sometimes when I try to click on it, I end up pressing whatever is behind it (i.e. closing Outlook).

    What I can recall for now...

    Hope they fix these soon.

    Thanks to all.

    Dear Nhan N. Nguyen,

    Good day!

    Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community. We are happy to assist you.

    According to your description, the issue of your concern that the feature for drag and drop does not work on new Outlook.

    Based on my tests, it is a fact that this feature is not available when downloading the attachments. (uploading is OK.)

    We truly understand how frustrating it is, at this moment, please toggle off the New Outlook as a workaround.

    In addition, please be kindly to share your using experience and suggest this as a new feature to the New Outlook's engineering team as below:

    Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

    Sincerely,

    Microsoft Community Moderator.

    Same issue.

    I deal with a lot of invoices and documents and like to drag and drop into various applications and folders without downloading the document first. Additionally, I copy and paste email chains in various locations, which is also not working any longer in New Outlook.

    Hope this gets fixed soon, since I enjoy using the New Outlook.

    Just want to add my support for the need to drag and drop attachments right out of the email/reading pane into a folder/to desktop, and also into OneNote.
