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

Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Just here to add my hatred of this as well. Quick actions being pinned on the far right makes no sense. Then, it doesn't listen when I tell it I don't want quick actions. Flag and Delete always remain quick actions, so my flag is always pinned on the right and there is no way to move it. Terrible design.
I'm guessing the Moderators are volunteers from the Community and not MS staff.
So they can tell us what we can't do but can't tell MS what to do.
I totally get/understand outsourcing. I guess my disappointment lies with the obvious across-the-board dislike of the change being documented here, on Microsoft's own Community forum, but yet there has been no official reply/response. While we aren't exactly sure of how this community forum works behind-the-scenes, we do however know that there are Moderators reading it as there have been 2 or 3 jump-ins from them on this (now) 37 page thread. Ergo someone in an official capacity is involved to some extent, but apparently not enough to make any type of difference as to when/if it ever actually gets escalated to the appropriate Development team. In addition, hundreds of us submitted official Feedback on the issue, per the Moderator's suggestion, until finally that option (the ability to submit feedback) was removed. That, to me, was the worst part as it was a clear indication that they just don't care.
I was hoping for a longer script.
As a former programmer I can guess how this happened - MS outsourced the email system to another country, different cultures have a different way of looking at things. What they see as logical may not be for an American.
MS gave the contractor an email modification project, the contractor completed it, MS signed off on it and it went into production. The contractor's staff went onto their next project and there was no facility to go back and make changes. So no one at MS cared to read the responses.
Just a guess, but we know companies outsource offshore to save money and the customer sucks it up.
