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

Like everyone, came here to try and figure out a solution to fix this horrible new design...
Hopefully there is a solution soon!
Very ANNOYED with this UI change ..... I'll send in feedback as a complaint but for now I'm changing the quick actions settings to remove all quick actions. What this accomplishes is that quick action icons revert to the space at the end of from and before subject just as the description in settings shows. To set an action on an email which now has no quick actions just right click that email for the actions context menu. To remove an action icon, same thing, just right click for the context menu of that email.
I despise workarounds for changes that are NOT well controlled and well published. Shame on Microsoft!!
This is more annoying than when my supermarket moves/rearranges the aisles! When you have been using the same mouse/click action for 5+ years and they move it, it just takes longer and it is less reliable because it's too easy to delete the wrong message!!!!! Please, please give us the option of where to place the quick actions, or move them back where they belong!
I know the IT guys and gals like to make changes to programs to improve them. Sometimes changes bring new functionality and features that take some getting used to, and we will have to adjust for the longer term benefit. Sometimes change is just plain STUPID, and seems to have zero redeeming value. This is that kind of change. C'mon Microsoft, read these comments and return Quick Actions to the left side, where it belongs.
Why in the [blank] would Microsoft move the Quick Action items to the right of the subject line rather than the left with no option to reposition them to their original location? They are much more difficult to use in this location and the chance of making a mistake selecting the action for a specific email is greater.
Where were the Microsoft software testers? Rule Number One: Do not make software changes just for the sake of making changes.
