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?

    No, you're looking at classic Outlook 365, where it is exactly as you say. In New Outlook (what the Microsoft Store calls Outlook For Windows), there is no such option.

    I wish Microsoft wouldn't name their products so confusingly. You would have thought they would have learned from all the confusion around Outlook/Outlook Express all those years ago.

    Where exactly?


    New outlook, Windows,
    I don't use the "Simplified Ribbon"

    You have Microsoft Outlook Version 1.2024.516.100 (Production).

    Client Version is 20240510004.27 .

    WebView2 Version is 124.0.2478.97 .

    In OSX Outlook 365 my option list is even smaller and less useful.

    Dear Elizabeth W12

    Thanks for choosing Microsoft Community.

    Based on your description, I understand that you are having trouble finding the "direct replies to" field in the new Outlook. I'll be happy to help you with that.

    In the new Outlook, the "direct replies to" field has been replaced with the "Have replies sent to" field. To access this field, please follow these steps:

    1. Compose a new email.
    2. Click on the "Options" tab in the ribbon.
    3. Click on "Direct Replies To" in the "More Options" section.
    4. In the "Have replies sent to" field, enter the email address where you want replies to be sent.

    Hope this can help. If there is any update, please feel free to let me know.

    Your understanding and co-operation are highly appreciated.

    Thanks for your precious time. Have a nice day.

    Sincerely,

    Katherine

    Just check the new Outlook to see if there is progress for adding 'direct replies to' or 'Have Replies sent to' to Option.

    Still can't find anything. Sad.

    We really need this feature to be set up in New Outlook, it's critical to our daily work.

    It will be much appreciated if MS can have the 'direct replies to' or 'Have Replies sent to' whatever you call it, to add to the New Outlook.
