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.
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
This change is the stupidest thing I've ever seen. In the practice of my profession, I often need to attach email files to new emails. This new process is too inefficient. How can I switch back to the previous version of Outlook?
This is a ridiulous update to so called New Outlook? Requesting Microsoft to fix this on priority.
Additionally the feature to search by sorting also does not work any more?
E.g. Click on the 'From' header in the mail box to sort it by sender. Then just start typing first few characters of the sender you are looking for. Example 'Ron...as in 'Ronaldo'. Nothing happens??!!!
Microsoft is losing out big time on the user friendliness. Please fix it and restore all the good functionality from old Outlook.
It was so much better than this new one.
Hi Microsoft,
Thanks for removing an easy to use feature and adding more steps to the work that was done in 2 steps. We really appreciate your time and effort spent on removing a feature which was quite useful to people.
This is really unacceptable. Why would such a helpful, simple feature be removed? Hopefully it's being considered as a modification to be added back to the new version of Outlook.
Yes, so annoying that we can no longer copy emails!!
