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

    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?

    I'm with you 1,000000000%. It is a joke. We need the ability to drag/drop everything that works today: File Attachments, The email message itself and there needs to be the ability to "Save All Attachments" like there is today and select a folder. This is a CRITICAL feature for email. We drag/drop 1000s of file attachments per month.

    For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to eliminate the ability to drag and drop files from emails to local folders or Teams. This is an obvious mistake.

    Whatever else the Outlook team is working on right now, they should stop and then restore the drag and drop feature immediately. I mean like overnight tonight. Other than that, new Outlook is pretty cool.

    Who's with me?!? :-)

    Same problem. Please fix this ridiculous ****. New versions of software are supposed to make things better, not worse.

    Not being able to drag & drop documents (download) from emails in the new Outlook into File Explorer is extremely frustrating & takes up unnecessary time during my work day. I do not understand how an engineer would think it's more logical to have to click the dropdown for an emailed document, click on download, choose either 'show in folder (your download folder)', which opens the File Explorer Download folder, then open another File Explorer window, then drag & drop the downloaded document into the file I want it to reside in, rather than the simple function of drag & drop. Please correct this.
