What replaces the "Edit Message" button in the New Outlook?

Dear Iseri B.,

Good day! Thank you for posting to Microsoft Community.

I understand your concern and you are absolutely right in the classic Outlook this feature will allow you to edit the received emails. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to edit the received emails in the new Outlook for Windows. However, Microsoft is constantly working on improving their products and adding new features. I suggest keeping an eye on the Microsoft Outlook blog or the Microsoft 365 roadmap for any updates on this feature. In the meantime, I do apologize for the inconvenience this may cause, if you heavily rely on this feature, you may consider toggling out of the new Outlook for Windows preview for now. I will also update here once I get additional information and the specific timeline for the feature will be added. Appreciate your patience and understanding.

Thank you for your precious time. Have a good day!

Sincerely,

i need this to update my boss on what I have done with the particular email.

I also need this feature. Please come with an update

For sure, this feature needs to be available!!!!

I hope the editing feature for received emails comes soon to the new Outlook. Its absence is the main reason I'm not switching now. Thank you.
