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

    Our "computer guys" at my job were clinging to Windows XP as long as possible, then Windows 7, now we have Windows 10. I suppose it had its disadvantages, but I miss XP. I liked the way it looked... it seems like the icons or "buttons" used to be bigger and bolder, so you did not need to be a trained sniper to click on them quickly. One thing I noticed at my job was that I used to be able to PLACE subfolders in a folder into the order I wanted them, and they'd stay there. Say, the true historical order of job or project folders. After Windows 7, maybe you could pick either alphabetical order or else an automatic time sequence by the last time you made a tiny change or correction or added a small note to one CAD drawing. Maybe more options besides that, but anything other than simply placing them in the order you wanted and having them stay there.

    Also I habitually place (AKA "want") the "My Computer" or "This PC" icon in the top left corner of the desktop, and it ALWAYS jumps to somewhere else on the desktop, every time I restart my PC. This happens both at home and at work, with Windows 10. What is the problem with designing something so it does what the customer wants it to do? Especially when they had a product that successfully did what I wanted, at one time?

    I keep getting pestered to switch to Windows 11, but I'm fearful how much worse it is going to be than the **** I have now.

    I'm reaching a 'tipping point' as well. Nearly jumped to only Linux when Win 7 support ended. 10 is no improvement in my opinion, maybe worse in some ways. 11 has plenty of detractors. Since I have a very capable machine - but not Win 11 capable - it's definitely going to be a Linux machine.

    And yet when you go to the office apps (online), or OneNote, or even your Microsoft profile, there's a very prominent floating Feedback button on the bottom of all those pages. Makes you wonder if the Outlook.com team is based and managed in a location where customer service is not a priority. Hope they are making the internal changes to align or move Outlook.com under a customer focused team.

    No doubt they got tired of people complaining.

    They've already proved beyond any doubt that they are excessively belligerent, pompous, and incompetent. I am an Office 365 customer, and I assure you, they are goosing me along with everyone else.

    Next move? Probably deleting these "support" forums.

    Take note that our thread was quiet for a few days. As several of us have mentioned already, they are simply waiting for us to roll over and die.

    The idea to stir up some publicity about this is a good one, with "this" being defined as the total lack of response on the "support forum", via the now-removed "feedback" link, and Twitter. If we are able to generate some bad publicity, they may step up their game and provide us with useless canned responses instead of totally ignoring us.

    In the meantime, get yourself a Mac, Chromebook, or a Linux machine, and start planning to migrate your e-mail from Microsoft.
