Email Templates

I've switched over one of my devices to the "New Outlook"....only to discover there is no ability to save an email as a Template? Well not as far as I can see atm at least.  I use heaps of email templates in the old Outlook, and they are an incredible time-saver. 

Am I missing a feature here?

    As far as I've been able to determine, you will need to install the Microsoft "My Templates" Add-In.

    [New Mail], "Insert" -> "Apps" -> "Get add-ins". On the "Add-Ins for Outlook" dialog, below "All" on the left side, select "My add-ins". On the "My add-ins" dialog "My Templates" should be under the "Added by Microsoft" section. Click [Add]. Once you have it installed https://www.ablebits.com/office-addins-blog/email-templates-new-outlook-web/ might be helpful. There are other sites that explain how to use "My Templates".

    There are also other Template relates add-ins available. Google Search is your friend.

      Thanks Hornblower409  ...I already have that Extension installed and did play with it. Seems more like Quick Parts in the old Outlook except, you cannot add pictures and not really an email template sadly. 

      The Email Templates I use, have attachments, screenshots and some images. A real template. I'll definitely use the My Templates (except they're not 😉) in the new Outlook, but I'm not switching to the new outlook on my main device yet unless we can save some real email templates!
