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.
Didn't they do usability testing on this issue? By my reckoning it's taking me about five times longer to deleted unwanted messages as my eyes flick left and right checking that I'm actually deleting the intended message. Awful awful change.
The day this happened to me, I was sure I must have done something to make it happen. I spent several hours on Google trying to figure out how to move the quick actions back to where they belong. Needless to say, I didn't find any answers. I find the new location very inconvenient. I keep my calendar pane up all the time, which now covers the quick action buttons. I have started using the right click on my mouse to do what I used to do with the quick actions.
Whoever moved this change to the user community clearly didn't give the user community any consideration when they moved it. Assuming MS received numerous requests to move the quick action items to their new location, why not give the users the option to place them in a spot that makes the most sense for them? Like adding/deleting/moving columns. Oh right . . . you can't do that in Outlook.com either.
To move the mouse aaaaalll the way to the right is NOT an UI improvement.
I have submitted feedback, posting here as well to underline.
Adding my name to the list of disgruntled users - the switch of Quick Actions as a floating item on right-side of the Outlook Web is a horrible change, and a horrible design pattern.
MS - please revert the changes to re-enable to Quick Actions between Send and Subject. Or at minimum, provide users the option to choose their own preference.
Yes, this is really not practical....
