Hi,

We are currently Testing the new Outlook and i got some Questions about drag and drop of Mails to desktop as of now, its not possible.

The way we do it now is klick on the 3 dots and download the message.

The Download popup shows up from where we can drag and drop the msg into the Explorer or Desktop.

Is this going to stay?

if yes, what is the best Practice process to save Mails quickly from Outlook into Teams/Sharepoint filestructure?

    In terms of best practices for quickly saving emails from Outlook into Teams or SharePoint file structures, you might consider the following options:

    1. Save emails directly to Teams or SharePoint: Instead of downloading the email and then dragging it to Teams or SharePoint, explore if there are options within Outlook to directly save emails to Teams channels or SharePoint folders. Some integrations or plugins may provide this functionality.
    2. Email forwarding: Another option could be setting up rules within Outlook to automatically forward certain emails to designated Teams channels or SharePoint folders. This way, emails are directly routed to the appropriate location without manual intervention.
    3. Integration tools: Investigate third-party integration tools that specialize in connecting Outlook with Teams or SharePoint. These tools may offer more streamlined workflows for transferring emails and attachments.
    4. Manual upload: If none of the above options are feasible, continue with the current workaround of downloading emails and then dragging them into Teams or SharePoint. Ensure that users are trained on the proper procedure to maintain consistency and efficiency.

    Ultimately, the best practice may depend on your organization's specific requirements, existing software setup, and workflow preferences. Regularly reviewing and optimizing these processes can help ensure efficiency and productivity.

    I have this problem in a slightly different use case. I usually drag email from inbox into Outlook Calender Meeting that I invite people to discuss what has been written in an email. But it is still not possible to drag and drop a mail from the inbox to meeting within Outlook.

    It does work to drag and drop old emails into new email.

    Hi Nebucadneza,

    Thanks for getting back.

    To answer your question, it will depend on the demand of the users. Feedback from users will be gathered and that is where they will decide if it would be added to the features.

    Hopefully that they will recognize the number of feedbacks about this feature. That is why your feedback is very important and would be helpful in order for this feature to be added on the new Outlook.

    Sincerely,

    ReynaldoB
