Hello MS-Team,

I Installed a new outlook for the user by clicking on "try new outlook feature", and after installing the new outlook she could not use drag and drop feature and she does not want to download all of the content because she works with a large number of invoices and reports.

The issues at hand are:

Can’t drag and drop attachments from an email to a folder.

Can’t drag and drop emails to folder to save them in the SharePoint.

Your kind help is much appreciated!

Kind Regards,

Aiyaz Khan

    You can on the old outlook. I used to do it all the time. And I still do on the Outlook used at my place of employment. But the new one I have at home...I cannot and it's annoying.

    You should be able to drag files and emails out of outlook, right now you have to download everything and open the old outlook to drag an email to another location.

    Dear Aiyaz Khan1,

    According to your description, the issue of your concern that the feature for drag and drop does not work on new Outlook.

    Based on my tests, it is a fact that this feature is not available when downloading the attachments. (uploading is OK.)

    We truly understand how frustrating it is, at this moment, please toggle off the New Outlook as a workaround.

    In addition, please be kindly to share your using experience and suggest this as a new feature to the New Outlook's engineering team as below:

    Appreciate your patience and understanding and thank you for your time and cooperation.

    Drag and Drop attachment from email

    Still doesn't work and is a deal breaker for our use. Will have to go back to the previous version until its resolved.

    Isn't drag and drop one of windows main features? Go back 30-40 years when it was introduced and you'll find Bill promoting it as a jaw dropping feature... what is windows and the office package without it...? just another poorly integrated web browser? I pondered how MS can release its most used tool on the windows platform without this main feature functioning and why it seems that you do not have a plan to do so either.

    The New Office is not an replacement nor an upgrade, maybe a downgrade where you can rather use outlook in the browser...

    When you have to do 3 enoying operations where I in the previous version could do a simple drag and drop is a serious step back and less efficient workday as a result.

    its 3 mnths no action??? When will this feature be availble?
