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

    So it seems. Thanks for the replies. TBut actually there are tons of other issues. I gave up and switched back to the old version.

    Thanks for you advice Robert. I find it incredulous that they created a new product with less features than the old one and do nothing to fix it in over 4 months.

    Anyway, I found a better solution. I went back to the old outlook and am very happy.

    Thanks & Regards, Wayne

    Removing the ability to drag and drop files from the new outlook is a very poor design decision. It has been over a year since you stated that Microsoft "Was working on it". Please fix this.
