Hi, I am using the most recent version of Office 365 Outlook, and since I updated to the new layout, I am not able to copy a complete email anymore.

The only option I have is to copy and move the email to a certain number of preset folders. However, I mostly use this function to copy and add the email to an ongoing but different email thread. It seems that this not possible anymore or at least I don't how to do it.

Thanks for anyone's advice.

    Can you just add the feature to right click copy and paste the email? I do not see why this was removed in the new outlook.

    Maybe it's more convenient for Microsoft :)

    Windows ... constantly getting less functional than before.

    This is not a solution, only a workaround. Why can I no longer copy an email (365) I previously sent and attach and send it to a new email? This is a critical element for demonstrating a reply was sent, or sharing with others information contained in a previously sent email.

    It is unfortunate that this feature is lost. It is fundamental feature that one should be able to copy an email and attach it. it was so simple and easy. I can't understand how Microsoft removed this feature. It's annoying to use new Outlook.

    I believe in the new update, Microsoft introduced the copy feature. Now I can copy and paste the old email in a new email.

    I have tested it on two computers and it worked.
