Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
I need this feature as well.
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.

2025-01-07T16:12:03+00:00 Agreed! I'm all with change and accept there is a level of change management, however when they are neglectful of actual usefulness and productivity, I find this very frustrating. I've been giving the new outlook its' fair chance, however with this type of neglect, I say our with the new, back to the old. I'm ready to remove it and return to what I know is actually functional in the long term.
Sad that this hasn't yet been reviewed and updated yet.
