2015-03-25T07:53:35+00:00 outlook.com columns auto-adjust correctly when IE zoom is 100%. It's a shame that Microsoft's e-mail doesn't work right with their own browser.
I know it is an old thread but - IE11 (Win 7 64) does NOT display columns properly even when zoom is set to 100% - still too small "From" column with extra space in "Subject" column. And no way to resize these.
Old issue, requested to add as feature and MS still does not do anything about it nor do the moderators seem to use the product in question.
