Email Attachments in the new version of outlook.

3.Check Office Integration: Ensure that Outlook is properly integrated with your Office applications (e.g., Word, Excel, PowerPoint). Sometimes, issues with integration can prevent Outlook from accurately suggesting recent files. You can check the integration settings in Outlook's options or settings menu.

5.Check File Access Permissions: If the file you're trying to attach is located in a network folder or shared location, ensure that you have the necessary permissions to access it. Permission issues can prevent Outlook from suggesting the file in the attachment dropdown menu.

Can you please share the step-by-step process for how to do each of these?

I've been using the new Outlook for a couple of months and like some of the changes and better integration of my calendar; honestly, I didn't realize how much I relied on the "recent files feature" until I didn't have it. It is super frustrating and time-consuming to have to browse for a file. Please fix this, Microsoft. I have since switched back and told all my coworkers not to update. I will keep a hopeful eye out.

Right. They are making things harder than they used to be for no discernible reason.

I've just moved to Windows 11 and realised you can no longer drag a file down to the taskbar to switch windows, which is another easy way you could get a file you were looking at into your email. You can only drag a file into an email if you happen to have both the folder and your email open on your screen(s) already.

I hope the most recent files feature will be fixed. I used it all the time emailing a spreadsheet or word document just prior to sending it an email.

What have you done Microsoft? The new Outlook is just missing so many features and it is slower than the previous version and it uses more RAM. It is not good.
