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 .

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

    Thankyou for posting your concern as I have exactly the same problem and am dismayed that someone sees this as an improvement and would thrust this upon members thinking their wisdom to be superior to free choice

    True! I use a very wide screen. I literally have to move my head to the right to try to find the quick action, then carefully line it up with the correct email then look back left to try to verify I am not about to alter the wrong email.

    Thank you to everyone who is commenting and also providing feedback to Microsoft - hope they will take note and either change it back or allow us to customize!

    There is anther option for feedback that I mentioned as a follow-up to my original post - wanted to repeat it knowing it may be missed in what is now a lengthy thread:

    In addition to using the ? and Feedback route, there is also a separate  Microsoft Feedback portal. 

    or if you'd like to "upvote" what I submitted there: https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/idea/9a913ff0-4acf-ec11-a81b-000d3a00c008
