In the new Outlook, I can't find the "direct replies to" field. Since I send emails from various accounts, I use this feature frequently. Am I missing it or was it removed?

    Katherine,
    Clicking the "More Options" button brings up a dialog named "Message options" which has a Sensitivity drop down and options to request read or delivery receipts. There is no "Direct Replies to" in New Outlook, at least in my version:
    Version

    You have Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2023.1108.200 (Production).Client Version is 20231110003.07 .

    This is a major drawback in my adoption of the "New Outlook". Where else might this useful setting be hidden?

    This is why adoption rates for new microsoft products is slow. They release new versions of software with fewer basic features than the version they replaced. Please add this.

    Scott is correct. This is also my view, and I have not been able to locate the feature anywhere else.

    Also having this problem, it's an essential feature that I rely on frequently and would urgently like to be restored — please help, Microsoft team!

    I have the same exact issue

    Having the "Direct Replies To" feature missing or disabled is a critical design flaw. I work in a university and direct a lot of emails to secondary recipients who need to reply to the original sender (and not me). I went on my 5th attempt to test Outlook New and I've had to go back to Outlook 2021 (aka Outlook Classic). I am sure I am not the only MS365 user with this frustration. I look forward to this patch being implemented as I am sure power users to MS365 like myself are eagerly waiting.
