Have upgraded to the new Outlook.

I used to be able to easily share a word doc or pdf version as an attachment onto email.

It currently still loads up the old outlook when using this feature. i want it to open up the new outlook when using the share feature on word.

    We mostly gave up on the new Outlook.

    In a recent poll of our organization (14,000 Office 365 users), not a single one could cite any advantage the New Outlook has from a user's perspective.

    With my IT background, I absolutely get it - getting rid of the last remnants of a 27-year old codebase it a Good Thing. From an end user's perspective, I don't give a damn until the productivity tool stops hindering my productivity. Too many features I actually use are missing or implemented haphazardly.

    Same issue here and I have set every single mail protocol default to new Outlook. Also, lost my scan to e-mail from my Canon scanner, which is probably due to the same reason the Send to Mail Recipient doesn't work.

    Same problem here. This has been going on for quite some time now. I do not understand what is the difficulty in updating the software to address this.

    This is absolutely unacceptable that Microsoft can't solve such a simple issue.
