I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out how to insert a horizontal line in an email.

I'm in the same boat as Daniel Felix2. Our company is trying to switch to the new Outlook, but features like inserting a horizontal line are still required for many of our employees, so please add that feature back in future releases.
Thanks!
I've found that using --- as a shorthand way to add a line also doesn't work in new Outlook. And without quick parts, I can't add a quickpart for --- to insert a line either..
I keep trying to switch to new outlook, but honestly it feels like they took outlook and tried to make it more simple to use, which is great, but only did so by removing features.
Anyone found a good way to replace quick parts? I rely on it heavily in my day-to-day so I may end up switching back until I figure that out..
Same issue here. Noticing quite a loss of functionality with New Outlook. Attachments, horizontal rules, editing options -- not ready for prime time, you guys. Keep working on it.
I have the same problem. I often right click to copy and insert text or links into email drafts using the old Mail app. The new one won't do that. It is a big loss in convenience and functionality. It's also very cumbersome to manage multiple email accounts in the menus. I haven't found a way to pin the new Outlook Calendar to the taskbar either, so I am forced to go back through Outlook email to open it. The widget is not as useful. The separate calendar app is better unless there is a way to open new Outlook calendar separately.
The old Mail app is way cleaner and easier. I tried the new Outlook for over a month and ditched it. I plan to hang onto the old app as long as possible even though I have to override the constant reminders to switch. If the functionality issues aren't fixed, then I'll move and use something else.
