How do I make a copy of the same draft email the new Outlook?

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?

Outlook | Windows | New Outlook for Windows | For home

    Hello! Not sure if someone already mentioned this but I found the perfect workaround for this. It's apparently very easy to toggle between the new outlook and the old outlook. There should be a toggle button in the top right hand corner that says "New Outlook" and if you turn it off, it will take you to the classic or old outlook. Click the toggle again if you want to go back to the new outlook. If you can't find the toggle button, then go to "Help" in the top left hand bar and click "Go to classic outlook." Once you're back in the old outlook, you can use the CTRL + F function to copy multiple draft emails. And if you want, you can easily switch back to the new outlook to utilize their newer features. It would be ideal if the new outlook could do the same thing with the CTRL + F function, but this is the closest thing I could find for this workaround!

    What does this toggle look like? Can you send a screenshot because I don't know if I have it. Thank you!

    Unfortunately, Outlook on a mac seems to be still broken. No way to copy an email, forward a draft, and the duplicate option in Edit menu is grayed out.

    It has been over 37,339 Views, 365 days, and 55 responses, and 271 people asking for this!!! We want the function back! I am now using Thunderbird. I give up on Outlook. I cannot colour-code my folders, and I cannot Duplicate drafts (forwarding is just stupid). Productivity is down because I have to cut the Fw: from the title, then try 4 times to grab the FROM, SENT, SUBJECT and delete that. Is this really how we work in 2025 with OUTLOOK - with workarounds? No. Outlook is abandoned. Hello Thunderbird! I am training new staff on Thunderbird - skip Outlook altogether.
