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?

    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.

    It's now May 30, 2024. Came back here just to check if it's safe to switch yet, sadly it is not.
