I installed Office 2019 hoping to be able to move e-mails from our public folders into groups with Outlook. I now have Outlook version 2002 (build 12527.200278 click and ready) But it's still is not possible.

HE-MJ, I'm not sure drag and drop from Public Folders is supported. Have you tried drag and drop with an ordinary email from your inbox?

Also, I'm not sure about this, but in the Release Notes for update #13, it states that Drag an email to a group you own. Ref. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/release-notes-office-insider#outlook-11

Could you try drag and drop to a Group that you are defined as an owner (and not only Member)?

    Outlook
    Drag email to a group you own: Move and copy messages and conversations by dragging them from your inbox. Messages you drag will be shared with all group members.
    
    I just upgraded. Doesn't work. Even rebooted my machine.
    This is getting ridiculous....
