The 'Don't move messages with attachments' option now missing from Outlook 365 Classic Options\Mail\Conversation Clean Up settings

I'm on Version 2606 Build 16.0.20131.20112

Has Microsoft either removed or hidden this option?

I don't remember there ever being a condition for that. And everything I can find on the web says that any email with an attachment is never considered for Cleanup.

Keep Your Inbox Clean with Outlook’s Conversation Clean Up Feature

Outlook looks at the content of emails and deletes earlier messages that have duplicate content but will not delete messages with attachments.

Consider using Outlook’s Clean-up tool | Symetri.us

The Clean-up tool will delete all the past emails leaving you with the last one which has the full thread of conversation, but none of the attachments. Thankfully the tool will not remove messages that have attachments.

For me at least it is moving emails with attachments hence the need to mitigate

Put 'will outlook 365 classic Conversation Clean Up move messages with attachments' into ChatGPT (it confirms the setting is now missing)
