How can I attach email to Calendar in new Outlook?

To attach an email to a meeting
In the New Appointment or New Meeting select Insert -> Outlook item and choose the email you want to attach.

In the "new" Outlook, I can no longer attach emails to Calendar items, even when I have created the item. Is there are work around for this?

This is a feature that is greatly missed throughout my company.

thank you for this! It worked for me - albeit cumbersome. Why, for the love of God, does Microsoft not consult the users of their products when they make these changes!?

Has anyone at Microsoft actually user tested the new outlook, or done any customer sessions? To say it's style over substance is an absolute understatement. Not being able to attach an email to an existing meeting is ridiculous.

In meeting invites I searched for a loooong time to find out how to format the text as there is pretty much nothing in the settings. Then I found the text formatting bar, at the bottom of the email invite, so to add bullet points to the text at the top, I had to scroll all they way to the bottom, then to change the indent, I had to go back up to the top, higlight the text then scroll back down to the bottom again! I mean why would you put it there instead of pinning it to the top bar where it has always been.

So many features are now non-existent. I really do wonder if the designers of this new outlook have actually viewed how people normally work with it. Why for example in the calendar settings - are there settings for whether I want to add all sorts of travel items to my calandar - this is pretty much all there is in the settings, whereas must be a tiny percentage of what people use outlook calendar for. Whilst at the same time, everyday features that are needed and used either don't exist or you have to google in order to find them because it's so counter-intuitive.

Very poor play Microsoft.

I genuinely don't understand the rationale here. I can understand wanting to move away from desktop applications, but if you don't have feature parity, then you aren't doing it right.

This feature is one that I really care about, and I know a lot of my clients do as well. We have one client who has held off until the last minute with their "upgrade" to the New Outlook specifically because of this feature. That's 300 users stuck on old software and an IT team itching to pull the trigger on a switch to Google. We're force-feeding them the Kool-Aid and talking about Exchange and Teams and all that fun stuff, but they're starting to compare features...
