I use the new version of outlook. The drop down menu for attachments, suggests three files; none is the most recent file used/saved. I have to go into my word documents folders, find the file, and open it to attach it to an email. How can I get the drop down menu of suggested files to display my most recently worked on file?
Using New Outlook on Windows for professional communication and productivity

The main customer retention strategy for large companies like Microsoft and Autodesk appears to be Vendor Lock-in..
I've been experiencing the same issue. Attaching files used to be much easier before the update. Since they introduced the "Avoid duplicate" rework, attaching files has become much more manual and cumbersome. The suggested files list doesn't update, and only shows 3 now when it use to be more. I work for an organization that deals with clients who use external SharePoints. We will never be on the same SharePoint, we cannot share live files, and I can't sync SharePoint to our work computers as it would slow them down. It seems like the updates were designed with personal use in mind, not for organizations.
Still having this issue Oct 2024. Just switched back to old Outlook because of it.
Despite the bad turn the new outlook takes, it is at least more user friendly than yahoo mail. OMG. what a headache that is.
and Gmail is so full of unwanted ads and spam: very cumbersome.
what will it take to force Microsoft to get all the old features in the new outlook? lets pick a day to all call their support number. or better yet: does anyone know Bill Gates number?
squeaky wheels get oiled.
Agree. Maddening.
