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

    I'm gonna join you on this topic, cause for me quick action doesn't have any sense to be on the right.

    1. it is much better and precise to manipulate emails with those buttons being in between From and Subject columns rather on the right after Received Date. Now I need to be careful where to click and always looking left to right and vice-versa like I'm crossing the street.
    2. every online mailing service is using the previous design so I'm kind of used to it.
    3. they should at least gave us an option to return to the old UI.

    Very hard to use.

    Agree with everyone else, it seems unintuitive for the quick actions to be moved away from where your line of sight/cursor falls naturally.

    I'm also baffled over the decision to move the quick actions... but it is now how gmail is (see attached picture), so maybe MS somehow have looked their way?

    Anyway it's a bad idea for desktop users anyway... it might be good for mobile users so they can quikly push the Icon with their right hand.
