Quick actions - location changed in inbox?

Hi,

Starting today, the location of the Quick Actions has moved in the Inbox message list. They had been located between the Sender name and Subject for each message but now have moved to the far right side of the screen, which I find cumbersome to use.

Does anyone know of a way to change the location of the columns in Outlook.com or at least the location of these? The only thing I see in Settings is the ability to toggle on/off the various Quick Actions themselves (e.g. Pin, Categorize, Delete, etc.)

Thanks,

Kris .

    @ReynaldoB, I don't think your answer is entirely correct. I use two different instances of O365 -- one for a US Gov't agency for whom I work, and another for a university where I study (both can be accessed from www.office.com). This undesirable change has happened on the university email but is still the way it should have stayed (i.e., buttons in between the sender & subject) on the USG site. So Micro$oft still has the code active to do it the way we want ... just not everywhere we want.

    And to the person who suggested the reading pane as a workaround ... BAD Idea! The reading pane is completely unacceptable for anyone who cares about the looking-over-the-shoulder element of security, and it, along with the pop-up notification containing part of the message, are disabled instantly on any new computer I approach.

    Hi there,

    Has anyone found a way to change this or convince microsoft to change it back, its possibly one of the most annoying changes that slows down email productivity and organisation. I dont know why they thought this would be a good idea. Or at least give people the option to change things to the order they choose like any other filing system.

    Can someone at microsoft give us a awnser please?

    They have made the "quick actions" less quick... really is a stupid change.

    Kris, no way to change it. We have all tried with no success.
