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 want it back on the left where it belongs.

    Looks like the Admin feature is only for Business (Work) accounts, not Personal accounts. However, there is still a Feedback feature (at least for me in my Personal account). Click your profile picture, select 'My Microsoft account', then at the bottom right, click 'Feedback'.

    I have exactly the same question. I HATE the new location for quick action icons. It makes it very difficult to see which email is being selected and your eye has to scan all the way along the highlighted row, back and forth.

    I can't see where/how to send feedback. There is no 'feedback' option in the Help catalogue with webmail and also no feedback option in 'My Account'. This is a business (work) account by the way.

    Adding my name to the list too! This was a terrible decision. I really hope Microsoft listens to the feedback through the forum and feedback feature and either moves it back or gives users the option.

    I have to reply here if I haven't already done so. I sent this feedback to uSoft but haven't seen a change or even an inkling of movement.

    Quick Actions (delete & trash, read/unread, flag, pin) features MUST be moved back to the left side of the mail message listings.  Focus is on the left side, pointing devices are naturally on the left side.  Right clicking and selecting an option is onerous, clumsy and a waste of time, moving focus and pointing to the top of the page is also wasted time.  Having these next to the sender and subject allows one to select the correct message for deletion (the Quick Action used most).  Having the delete on the far right forces your focus from the message under scrutiny to a region which can be incorrectly selected.

    This is a MUST CHANGE in my opinion.  A real game changer.
