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

    I have paid for Hotmail for over 15 years, so it is not free software for me.

    Calling any Microsoft representatives that may be monitoring this thread: What is going on? Is Microsoft aware (or care), that 100% of your customers that are swamping this board with 15 pages of comments so far, reeeeeeeeeeeeeely want this fixed?? Any plans to reverse the change?

    Hit your profile icon, select 'My Microsoft account', and Feedback should be at the bottom right.

    Completely agree - this UI change was a huge error, and something even a beginner UI designer should know not to do. Come on, Microsoft.

    I have to reply here if I haven't already done so. I sent this feedback to uSoft but haven't seen a change or even an inkling of movement.

    Quick Actions (delete & trash, read/unread, flag, pin) features MUST be moved back to the left side of the mail message listings.  Focus is on the left side, pointing devices are naturally on the left side.  Right clicking and selecting an option is onerous, clumsy and a waste of time, moving focus and pointing to the top of the page is also wasted time.  Having these next to the sender and subject allows one to select the correct message for deletion (the Quick Action used most).  Having the delete on the far right forces your focus from the message under scrutiny to a region which can be incorrectly selected.

    This is a MUST CHANGE in my opinion.  A real game changer.
