    Hi Joy_V,

    That was a very good suggestion.  Unfortunately, I regularly clear my cache and, to my knowledge, this has yet to correct the issue.

    However, I might try FixIt for Internet Explorer.  If it corrects anything, I will be sure to post!

    Thanks

    Hi Phil,

    Resizing column is unavailable even before Outlook. Please note that it has been noted already on our feature request list.

    Thanks.

    Hi there - thankyou for trying to help me with this. I have opened up outlook.com using FireFox, Chrome and IE9 and have cleared the browser history and cache/cookies etc. But I still cannot adjust the width of the inbox 'from' column - as it only shows part of the 'from' address and not all of it!!!

    Do you think this could be added as a feature enhancement?

    I did send a suggestion request via the options for feedback..

    How do I upload a screen-shot file to this forum thread? I can't see any obvious buttons..... I could then attach a screen-shot to illustrate this.  

    Thanks again. Phil.

    I put my screen-shot on skydrive - here is a link

    chrs, phil
