Microsoft[New!] Drag and drop conversations into groups
Joe McGiven Corban Thank you for your feedback. My name is Sri and I wanted to provide a quick update on the latest target timeline for shipping Drag and Drop on Outlook for Windows. We are currently internally testing Drag and Drop (on Win32 Outlook client) and are looking to release the feature to monthly/current channel customers by end of Q3, 2019. Other channel updates will follow. We totally understand the frustration caused by the delay and appreciate your patience on this. We will keep you posted on further updates.
Sri Ramya Mallipudi - Hi Sri, thanks for you message back in April. Do you have any fresh updates for Drag and Drop please.
Are you still looking to release the feature to monthly/current channel customers by end of Q3, 2019? If so, that's great. Any update you can provide on this would be appreciated.
Cheers, Joe
Joe McGiven Corban Thank you for your message. Outlook Desktop team is actively working on shipping Drag and Drop messages to Groups and we expect it to start rolling out to Insiders Fast build by end of Jan. If you are on monthly/CC builds, please expect to see the feature by end of Q1 CY2020.
I see this has recently slipped to Q1 CY2020, thats disappointing. I have a bunch of customers I need to migrate from on prem Exchange 2010 to Office 365 and they are heavy public folder users, I was hoping to migrate them to groups. Alas now this feature has slipped I am going to have to weigh up keeping them on public folders which I didn't really want to do.
Sri Ramya Mallipudi Has this really slipped all the way into next year?
PeterWhitehouse We apologize for the delay. Please know that shipping Drag and Drop on Outlook Desktop is our top most priority right now. We are very close to rolling this out post testing a few scenarios. The latest update is that we are expecting to ship this new functionality to Insiders Fast by end of January, 2020. If you are on monthly channel/CC builds, you will start seeing the feature in Q1 2020.
Thank you for your patience.
