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?

    Hi Nebucadneza

    Thank you for posting in the Microsoft Community forum. I hope you're doing well.

    I understand that you have question about the drag and drop of mails on Outlook. Let's work together to find the best solution to this problem.

    Based on my experience, I can do a drag and drop of mail in between folders inside Outlook. This function is still working.

    However, I would like to ask a few questions for clarification about your concern.

    I look forward to your reply.

    Sincerely

    Hi Nebucadneza

    Thank you for providing that information.

    We have tried to replicate this on our end and unfortunately, we also are unable to drag and drop mails into desktop from the new Outlook. This could be due to the new Outlook that is still on preview channel.

    With that being said, we highly recommend that you provide feedback directly to our developers within the application. Since the new Outlook is still on preview, as expected there are still lot of changes with the functions and features. So it is better that you provide feedback about this matter directly to our developers.

    We’d love to hear from you about what’s working well, what’s not, and any ideas for improvements including possible new features and functions. You may refer to this link here on how you can provide feedback. How do I give feedback on Microsoft 365? - Microsoft Support

    We appreciate your understanding.

    Sincerely,

    ReynaldoB
