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?

    I frequently do that also. This drag and drop functionality is one of the main reasons that I prefer Outlook over other email programs. If that functionality is never added to new Outlook (and we're eventually forced to use new Outlook), I'll have to look for an alternative, even if it means buying it myself for work use. Not having that functionality is a huge problem for me and a deal breaker.

    Same problem here. I regularly drag and drop an email into another email or meeting invitation to get someone up to speed on a topic. I can do a 'save as' of the email to a local folder then drag that in, but this is a big inconvenience from the old Outlook method
