Before I switched to new outlook, I was able to double click on attachments and they would open to their specific apps. Ex. If it was a PDF it would open with Acrobat; If it was a word doc, it would open with word. Now I have to click the download button and it default saves to my downloads folder instead of being put where I want it in the beginning. I also can't drag attachments from an email to the specific folder I want to save it to on my desktop. I have to download and then move it from my downloads folder.
I know it's probably just a new process I'll have to get used to, but hey maybe someone knows a hack!
Thank you in advance :)
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
At this point, I'm pretty sure Microsoft hasn't responded because they did an update to the community portal which forces them to download each message before they can read it, therefore, they are backlogged because it takes them so damn long to get through all of them.
Karma is a *itch.
LOL! Comment winner of the year!
Right clicking on the attachment gives me only 2 choices, 'Save to Onedrive' and 'Copy'. Actually is only one choice, because 'Copy' does nothing. Given also the lack of answer from MS here for such a long time, I suspect that the "new" Outlook is abandoned and it will soon vanish, we 've seen this before and after some time a new "new" Outlook will appear. Back to the old Outlook.
Agreed. I am also back to old Outlook and happily previewing attachments.
Progress, ain't it grand.
