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, as you can see the user community is really disgusted with the Outlook, Hotmail and Live UI change. How much more complaining needs to be done? Please provide a status of Microsoft's decisions concerning the positioning of the Quick Action Icons. I have used Firefox and Edge for both my @MSN and @hotmail accounts with the same UGLY results. Please advise as soon as possible.

    I agree with EVERYBODY.

    This is the most <removed> change imaginable. It makes a whole lot of sense to have to mouse CLEAR across the screen to use one of those quick actions. I actually just check marked a bunch and then went to the top of the screen and chose "..." and did what I needed to that way. I will save many miles of wear and tear on my mouse and its pad.

    If it's not broke, don't fix it!

    If you think that you can improve on it, make it an option that folks can initiate or undo themselves. Then the developers can 'see' how well it is used or not.

    I don't have time to go here and go there and type up complaints about so called improvements.

    I can change to one of the other email providers that I have a lot faster. Nobody should have a shortage of those these days. I send all the junk stuff to gmail so that google will have enjoyment learning NOTHING about me and my mail.

    Whoever thought, that this is good change, should step back to flipping burgers. You definitely do not belong into an UI layouting team. Ridiculous!
