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?
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I for one would love to be able to drag/drop emails from my inbox into a new email I have started! Its frustrating and archaic to have to download and re-upload the email.
Not sure why it took so long to have this included and was not even in their MVP !
That's great to finally hear it's being worked on.
I have found the link to this in their road map
drag and drop road map:
Microsoft 365 Roadmap | Microsoft 365
After toggling back to the old outlook and submitting a "Why I'm switching back" report, I got this popup.
At least MS are aware and are looking into a fix.
Drag and drop email or attachments
Thank you for using the new Outlook for Windows. Dragging and dropping messages, files, and attachments between the new Outlook and other locations (desktop, e.g.) is a feature that is currently unavailable. It will be coming out in an upcoming release.
In there a status here?
we have lots of organizations in our municipality (Oslo Norway) that are using the click and drag functionality. And we are rolling out win 11 as we speak, complaints are massive.
