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 .

    I have the same issue. The "update" occurred sometime this afternoon.

    Using FF with msn.com email via Outlook.com

    This is one of the dumbest changes that MS has ever done. Yet another example of MS attempting to fix something that wasn't broken. At least give the users the option of changing the settings back to the original position as indicated in previous posts. Having the option buttons on the right side of the screen is cumbersome at best.

    The sooner this is fixed the better.

    I agree this is a retrograde step. Change it back, please!

    Did they take into account those of us who use really wide monitors? My Quick Action buttons are now all the way on the other side of my screen! What a pain!

    Agree. This literally just happened to me today - 5.16.22. The delete button isn't even visible. I have to enlarge my outlook screen way larger than normal for it to be visible. HELP. this is awful. I have also sent feedback.

    The change is so annoying. When Microsoft decides to change the format, they need to make it possible for users to modify it. We don't all have the same taste that Microsoft developers have.
