Create a New Outlook Email With Drag and Drop

New Outlook Email With Drag and Drop

Did you know that you can create a new Outlook email message by dragging some text off of an existing message? I discovered this tip by accident, but it would be useful if you’re sending an email to someone, and a slightly different version to someone else.

To create a new email from existing text:

  1. Create or open an email message in Outlook
  2. Select the text that you want to copy to a new email
  3. Drag the text onto one of the Outlook folders visible in the background.

A new email message is created, with the selected text from the old message.
