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

    The 4600+ views of this topic do not include the many who could not find this forum. This Outlook change is overwhelmingly hated by users.

    SO TRUE!!!!

    I had a hard time figuring out how to get this far because of learning the lingo to be able to search for help. I ALSO sifted through my settings trying to FIX it. I'd lay odds that for every person in this forum another dozen are also pissed off but haven't made it here.

    Microsoft is saying "Let them eat cake" as a previous poster mentioned. We are screwed, and they DO NOT CARE. MANY of us have sent feedback, yet we're getting nothing but crickets.

    This change is a dealbreaker. We should start looking into an alternative to Hotmail/Outlook 365. (And don't say Gmail ... it is MUCH worse!)

    This is a ludicrous change, I've submitted my feedback and am noting my dissatisfaction here. A once-efficient workflow for triaging emails is now a disastrous waste of time. Change it back or provide an option in the settings.

    I created a user script to revert this change, until the feature is rolled back or made a user setting.

    This is a hotfix script, I can't make any guarantees that it will work on every system, or if Microsoft changes the names of these elements on their end.

    Script: https://gist.github.com/fortserious/aee38888a9c672c27682fa43940588fa

    Anyone may feel free to edit and share this to improve it.

    It's tested and working in Chrome and moves the quick actions back to the left, which is enough for me to get back to doing my actual job.

    You can comment out Line 22 if you want to keep the delete quick action on the far right.

    Hope this helps someone.

    I tried that. Found no way to accept the 1000 pages of the user agreement so I could not hit the submit button.
