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

Thank you!

    Until they figure out a fix to our flag issue...I made a minor adjustment and it seems to work for me...go into the Outlook settings by clicking on the gear icon at the top right...you'll see choices of display density and I chose "Cozy"...then I scrolled down to "reading pane" and chose "show on the right"....that's it, now the messages are easier to see with flags, delete and dates nearby...when you open a message it shows much larger... it's not perfect but it works for me...good luck everyone!!

    Help!

    This new column order is maddening. How can we change this back to From, Received, Subject.

    Any update on this issue?

    Agree, this was obviously not thought out. I have noticed another problem, the folder column width cannot be adjusted. The slider arrow shows but doesn't move the border.

    Every time I get used to the format of a Microsoft product you change it. Why? This is just infuriating that you keep doing this to your products, and the latest in bad decisions by microsoft. Please change it back!

    Yep, same for me. Microsoft seems to think it knows better than us what works for us and makes these changes without consideration. Please change it back
