The action "reply" or "reply all" is not available in quick steps for the new outlook

In the 'old' outlook I used to have several quick steps that included "reply" or "reply all" steps. For example: "reply all & archive" -> replied to the message, marked the original message as read and put the flag to completed

When creating quick steps in the new outlook, the option "reply" is missing from the "Choose an action" dropdown.

I also noticed that the quick steps that included these actions are not migrated in the new outlook.

Please bring this feature back.

    I can't switch to the new outlook without this feature. I receive tons of mails and highly use the reply action as a quick step.

    For this reason alone, I must revert back to the older version of Outlook. I depend on Quick Steps to manage a large number of redundant workflow tasks. It is hard to understand how a simple 'reply' or 'reply all' feature was overlooked in the new Outlook. Disappointing.

    Is there some place (UserVoice issue, i.e.) where we can vote/ask for this feature? It's the only quick step action I use, without it I can't switch to New Outlook.
