PLEASE Bring Back the Drag and Drop Function for Moving Multiple Contacts into a Contact Group
Please Bring Back the Drag and Drop Function for Moving Multiple Contacts into a Contact Group...Many businesses send "blast" emails to a specific group of people on a regular basis - that's why Outlook created the "Contact Group" feature. However, their latest update has eliminated the Drag & Drop function which allowed you to highlight multiple contacts and drag them into the group. NOW you have to manually type in every single individual name and email you wish to add to the group...sometimes that list includes hundreds of contacts, making the Contact Group tool virtually useless...or causing Outlook users to waste an inordinate amount of time on a simple task. Why is their technology regressing? Don't they want to compete for business by making things more efficient? From what I've read, it seems that a lot of people are very upset that Outlook would do away with this simple, yet essential tool…PLEASE reincorporate this feature on Outlook in one of your future updates! Thank you!

As long as the price is the same for the Mac version, which has less features and continuous performance issues (e.g. Excel), it is fair to say, that the Mac version is NOT worth the money Microsoft is charging. This particular function is a joke without drag and drop. I would like to create and regularly update a contact list of 150+ people, and the only workaround is copy pasting from an Excel table. This is ridiculous.

Please keep Mac Outlook up to date with the PC app! Why is the drag and drop feature so hard to implement in Outlook??

Yes, this is really, really, annoying. You can do this in the Windows version. Come on, guys, please fix this.

This is a crippling flaw of Outlook 2016 compared with Entourage. A big step backward. If I had another option, I would not use Outlook 2016.

So I have to search/add them one at a time? I have hundreds daily! This is the main reason I use Outlook.
