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?

It's June 25, 2025, and Microsoft has not resolved the issue. I am using New Outlook, and the "Suggested files" to attached are older files. The latest file that I have opened is never listed. It works in old Outlook, but it still doesn't work in new Outlook.
Come on Microsoft
More than a year later, so many users missing this feature. Fix it.
+1 to this issue. I believe it's still present.
More people should be upvoting and commenting on this post in the MS Feedback Portal. Only 7 votes in 12 months, would explain why nothing's being done about it.
"New Outlook" does not provide Recent items list · Community
They can suggest that I use the New Outlook version a million times and I will NOT use it until this is resolved.
Native Outlook works beautifully with this feature and will stay as long as I can. It's ridiculous that MSFT wants to force users to use OneDrive, that's why they don't change this. They want to shove OneDrive down your throat.
How has this not been fixed yet?!? Its September 2024 and this hasnt been updated?
