I often have to send alot of the same email, but slightly different variations. In the old outlook, I would go to my Drafts and CTRL + C and then CTRL + V to make multiple copies of the same draft email.

I am not able to do this in the New Outlook 365. Is there a workaround or new way to do this?

    Click in the subject line of the e-mail you want to duplicate and press CTRL + F.

    Think I figured it out, in case I missed someone else figuring it out. You have to select the checkbox next to the draft email. Then Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V works!!

    SOLUTION:

    • It is still possible to use CTRL + C and CTRL + V.
    • The trick is to make sure that your mouse cursor is in the right place.

    STEPS:

      1. In the default view of the drafts folder, click on the name of the draft email you want to copy. When you do, your mouse cursor goes into the body of the draft, assuming you want to edit the body. That's the problem.
      1. Click the name of the draft email you want to copy a second time. You can't double click too fast, or the draft email opens in a new window, so give it a couple seconds.
      1. CTRL + C
      1. CTRL + V

    That's really frustrating that you cannot create a duplicate and particularly because template emails just create the body not the whole thing including attachments, subject and any other parts.

    Yes, I also found that going back to Legacy was the only solution (especially on the Mac, as the only "workaround"--Forward--is greyed out).
