New Outlook - limitations

SHOW ALL CONTENT

With Microsoft's new Outlook, drapping and dropping emails directly from Outlook to Octopus file no longer works


Technical issue
For what appear to be security reasons, Microsoft has made a change that no longer allows drag and drop of attached files to an external application.

 

This issue is beyond our control. Please discuss it with your institution's IT team if you need assistance. 



Workaround:
 

  • Email
    • Save the .EML file to disk (to the location of your choice).
    • Then drag and drop the file into Octopus.
  • File attachment
    • Drag an email attachment to the desktop (Windows File Explorer).
    • Then drag and drop the file into Octopus.
