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?

    Finally Drag & Drop from new Outlook is available LOL
    I'm facing now the issue, that my vb.net app cannot handle the dragged information anymore. The dropped data type has changed.

    With the old outlook I can access the dropped mail information

    Dim IOStream As Stream = CType(e.Data.GetData("FileGroupDescriptor"), Stream)
Dim fileGroupDescriptor = New Byte(511) {}
IOStream.Read(fileGroupDescriptor, 0, 512) <<< Here I get a System.NullReferenceException because "IOStream" was "Nothing".

    Does anybody have clue how to handle the new format?

    This is 2024, and this function is not in this new outlook. What is really new? just the look?

    It's been a year and this still hasn't been added and now the old version is running so slow that it's almost unusable. Very disappointing to see.

    I agree, the ability to drag files from within an e-mail and drop them to a server location is essential.
