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?

    Amazing that the Original poster threw this up here and then decided to ignore everyone trying to get the work-around for this function for the past 19 months.

    Replying to keep this thread alive. The New Outlook is such a joke

    I couldn't help but notice... Katherine's last two replies in English are literally six seconds apart.

    If I'm not missing something entirely, I am going to say that Katherine an AI bot. AI is known to hallucinate and be confidently wrong which I am sure is what has happened here.

    tldr: YES, this is missing from New Outlook.

    --> If you need the "Direct Replies to" setting, go back to Classic Outlook. You'll find "Revert to Classic Outlook" in the Help ribbon.

    --> NO, there is no indication that this will be changed despite the outcry.

    hello everyone the feature is there click new email, options, click the three dots, then direct replies

    The new Outlook no longer has the three dots.

    For a new message ("popped out"), when clicking on Options, on the far right of the ribbon there is instead a "More options" icon. Clicking that "More options" icon triggers a 'Message options' pop up window which offers three adjustments:

    1. A "Sensitivity" choice -- the possibilities are Normal, Personal, Private, or Confidential. The subsequent options are not dependent on this choice and do not change.
    2. Below Sensitivity are two possible checkboxes:

    (i) "Request a read receipt" or

    (ii) "Request a delivery receipt."

    There are no other options. In short, there is no option to direct replies.

    I work in a university and my team uses the direct reply function all the time to keep everyone in the loop. We will stop using Outlook without this feature.
