outlook.live.com quick actions moved to far right of email and I can't move them back beside Sender/From and Subject.

My outlook.live.com quick actions moved to the far right of subject and received column and I can't move them back beside sender and subject. The quick actions appear on far right of email. I went to Mail - Customize actions -Quick actions. The template shows them on right but the screen narrative shows "Quick actions appear beside sender names and subject lines in your message list". Please help me get the quick actions back to between From (Sender Name) and Subject.

Thanks

    Quick Actions also doesn't change locations if you Hide the Reading Pane.

    Only if you choose to have the reading pane on the right / side. If the reading pane is on the bottom, it does not help.

    Thank you for telling us how to report how awful this change is. I have sent my feedback, and hope they'll put it back. This is so inconvenient - why would they move something people use all day every day? someone was not thinking.

    Why the heck did Microsoft DO this??? They may think it's just small change, but it is extremely frustrating and from the number of responses in 11 days, I'd have to say it's NOT a very well thought out or good one! Please, change it back!

    Same here as everyone else,

    having to move across the screen each time is awful and time wasting.

    I have also left feedback for this unnecessary UI change.

    I think , the chances of Microsoft fixing this inconvenience is very low.

    Because it only affects the people who prefer to hide the reading pane.

    Currently, to bypass the frustration we can enable the reading pane,

    which in turns brings the quick action buttons within reach.
