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 .

    The change is awful - moving between folders on the left and quick actions that are now all the way on the right is horrible on a large monitor.

    Bad bad UI design (design 101 here, keep frequent options close together and reduce clicks/movement, don't increase them) - please make this a toggle-able option at least.

    As a follow-up, another poster suggested that I also submit this issue to a second forum: Microsoft Feedback portal.   So I wanted to share with all of you the option to submit your own feedback about this at: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/or if you'd like to "upvote" mine, here is that link: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/9a913ff0-4acf-ec11-a81b-000d3a00c008

    I agree!!!! Who thought this would be a good idea?!!!! And, why was this done automatically, without providing users with the option to leave things as they were?!!!!
