When someone emails me, I want to Reply (or Reply All) via a Teams Chat (or Channel Post). Since I'm in Adoption, I find this a great way to direct people back into the Teams environment. I can't find any buttons to do this is the New Outlook.

    Hi @Melinda Grant

    Welcome to our forum!

    Currently, Reply with IM is not supported in New Outlook, and it can only be used in the classic version.

    Please kindly understand that many functions are not designed at present. To get this feature more quickly, I have found a similar post in feedback collection website, and you could vote for it. Many features of our current products are designed and upgraded based on customers’ feedback. You can also make suggestions on that website and hope Microsoft will notice this in the future.

    Thank you for your understanding and support!
