outlook.live.com quick actions moved to far right of email and I can't move them back beside Sender/From and Subject.

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

    This UI update just rolled out here. I agree having to move across the screen each time is time consuming and defeats the purpose of the "quick actions". Please revert or add an option to place it back in the middle. Feedback has been submitted.

    Thank you.

    This is also an issue for me. It should be next to the sender's name. Where is was at previously works. Now on owa/online, when I have calendar or tasks or anything on the right, it also cuts off the quick action options.

    I agree with other users. There should be a way to place the Quick Actions on the screen based on user preference. I don't use the Reading Pane, so having Quick Actions on the right makes them totally useless to me. Since this disruptive move, I've been accessing message options using Right Click, rather than moving my mouse pointer all the way across the screen to dispose of the message.

    Spent a good bit of time trying to fix this this morning until I came across this post. At the very least give us the option to move it where we'd like. Most of my actions are reviewing the Subject of an email and then deleting the email, all of which could be done without having to move my eyes and mouse to the far right of the screen. This is a huge inconvenience when working off a wide screen.

    I really hate that the Google UI has their quick actions to the right like this, so I'm frustrated that Microsoft has moved theirs to the same location. It makes actually using the quick actions difficult to do quickly -- and I've already accidentally deleted something when I meant to click on the scrollbar.
