New Outlook Saving all Attachments
Some of our users have switched to New Outlook and when saving "All Attachments" of 2 or more files they are saved in a zip file and causing issues for users having to unzip before they can interact with the files.

Outlook Preview - Subfolders Within Public Folders Not Appearing Within the Directory
Hello, I just enabled the Outlook preview, and I am unable to see any of the subfolders in the list of public folders within our organization.
