With Outlook on the web or Outlook.com, you can now drag messages to create appointments or tasks.
To create an event from a message:
- Click the To-Do icon to display the Task pad on the right
- Drag the message and drop it on the panel.
If you’re sending a meeting request, you can do that from the message in Outlook on the web. Click the 3 dots to display the menu and choose Other reply actions, the select Reply all by meeting to create a meeting to all recipients. (Unlike in Outlook desktop, you can’t cancel the meeting and turn it into an appointment.)
In Outlook on the web for business accounts, you’ll have options to reply with a meeting, by IM, or Like the message.
In Outlook.com, you’ll only have the option to reply with a meeting.
Add or remove recipients to the meeting request. (If you are presented with a dialog to Send or Edit, choose Edit to make the changes before sending.)
TIP: Outlook desktop has the same feature, it’s triggered by the Meeting button on the ribbon.
