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

    To add to this, in my Tweet (which I made on 05-27-22 and have yet to receive a reply), I mentioned that there are 23 pages of complaints in this forum universally hating the Quick Actions move. It's so frustrating to read canned replies like that. I would rather get nothing at all than read replies that show there was zero research done by the rep beforehand. The reply from the MS rep to @LouSchonder infers that the developers have indeed received all of the actual Feedback posts that have been made by us folks (not to be confused with posts in this forum) and it doesn't matter at all. Since there has been no actual MS update and/or no official replies anywhere, that is the only conclusion that can be drawn at this time.

    And as usual, you have to update any Microsoft 365 in order to do this!!! Which means you have to pay again for what you have already bought!!!

    I agree that this was not a change that I would have liked to see.
