Make it possible to create local folders "on my computer" to save email to. Previous versions allowed this.
In the current version of Outlook for Mac, users can create folders "on my computer" to organise/drag/drop specific emails into. This functionality is not currently working in New Outlook for Mac.

I agree with everyone else. I've used Outlook for years on a PC & now on a Mac. I have many folders saved on my Mac. Without the feature, the new Outlook is a No Go for me as well.

I agree, without On My Computer local folder access, as has existed in previous versions of Outlook for Mac, the new version is a no go for me and I suspect all Mac users.

CRITICAL - I won't consider the so-called new-outlook until this is working as it is in the old-outlook. As someone else said, I have 25 years of history 'on my computer'...

IMAP and POP accounts are required, not optional. And My last 25 YEARS of history is 'On My Computer', in 12 different email addresses!
It may just be time to go back to Apple Mail, as unsavory as that is.

I cannot believe this isn't a feature, it makes it completely unusable! So disappointed

Same request - this is a very important feature. Absence of this feature is a barrier.

This is ridiculous! Reading OLM's has to be there - corporate email policies basically forced you to use PSTs/OLM's in the old days because of storage caps! I need to view those historical emails and now have no way of doing so in the new ui! This is seriously effecting how I work and accessing historical info

find a way to replace the "on my computer" folder, which I use today to archive old emails I may need to reference

I used this feature a lot because it saved time when writing to the same groups of people. I am very disappointed you removed it, but I hope you find a similar feature to replace it.

This needs to be implemented - this is a showstopper deficiency in the new Outlook UI.

This is also a show stopper for me as well. I will not migrate to the new Outlook for Mac unless the same capability exists for being able to save sent and received email on my computer hard drive through the Outlook app. Keep the same capability while building in all the new capabilities, which ironically enough, are the same features that have been in Windows versions of Outlook for many years!

This is a SHOW STOPPER for me.
If this does not come back, that's my office 365 subscription GONE!
I will NOT be forced to store all my email archive on MS servers PERIOD! -

Same comment. Eliminating the ability to keep local email archived off (and off Exchange) should not be a Microsoft decision -- it is a user decision. MS, Dont like it -- then allow email admins the ability to prevent it, just like Outlook for Windows where PSTs can be prevented.
Bottomline -- this is not, and never should be, a Developer decision.

Also if this no longer will be supported which seems a bit draconian to me. How do we move existing data in data folders to the new structure, or does MS expect everyone to just forget about their old emails. In a corporate scenario that's just unacceptable.

Restore support for My Computer information! I was notified today that it would no longer be displayed, and the Preferences have been changed to always hide it. This is not acceptable. I archive information off the Exchange server when it gets too large or old but need to retain it.

You can no longer move Gmail mails to local folders (which was possible with the old version). The only folders that show up in the "Move->Choose Folder.." option are ones that are created within gmail.
If you wanted to create a folder within Gmail you can't - that option is greyed out.
