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

    Indeed, this appears to be rolling out incrementally. I have 5 Microsoft accounts (4 are Hotmail, 1 is MSN). The location change appears in 2 of the Hotmail Accounts and in my only MSN account (so 3 of my 5 accounts have the change implemented). Also, logging in/out and or changing browsers doesn't seem to impact it. I have officially submitted negative feedback.

    Interesting tidbit: In Settings\Mail\Customize Actions, the description area for 'Quick actions' still says "Quick actions appear beside sender names and subject lines in your message list."

    For what it's worth, some of you may recall that this also happened a few years back. The Quick Actions were moved to the right and then at some point shortly thereafter were moved back.

    So because the description area always has said (and still does) that the Quick Actions are supposed to be next to sender names and subject lines combined with the fact MS quickly resolved this when it previously happened some years back, my belief is that they will once again rectify the issue in a timely manner. At least that's what I'm hoping.

    I have always had the Reading Pane hidden. I like to open emails so I can see them, not preview them in a tinny area of my screen. The Quick Actions were between the sender and subject until mid-day yesterday when it moved on it's own.

    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.
