Somehow my columns moved from: From, Received, Subject to now displaying: From, Subject, Received. How do I change this back?

Thank you!

    Fine that we can't change the column layout, but PLEASE have your developers change it back to where it was previously, right beside the message rather than way at the end of the screen.

    Why did you change it in the first place? It worked fine (and better), where it was?

    Hello,

    That seems odd, unless some sort of default settings were changed by Outlook since it changed yesterday at some point. Below you can see how it currently is.

    Yesterday the columns were: From, Received, Subject. This wouldn't be a big deal except now my shortcuts (mark read, flag, etc.) are all the way on the far right instead of next to where one scrolls through and manages emails.

    Hopefully I just didn't explain well before and there's a way you can help me change it back. :)

    Thank you!

    Hi all it happen to me also. It's unconfortable to have the icons at the end of the row. It was faster to have it besides the subject. Regards, Matías

    Yes, I noticed the same thing. I can't find any option to change it back, and it's hard to access those shortcuts on the right end of the screen when trying to go through emails quickly.

    I have the exact same issue and agree that the new order is completely counterintuitive.
