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

    In-line with today's social media trends, it appears the only way Companies respond is when complaints go public/viral, i.e. Twitter. Given the lack of corporate interaction here in this thread, apparently forums are not given the respect or attention they are deserved. The following is Microsoft's official Support handle on Twitter: @MicrosoftHelps. I've scanned the account and apparently Microsoft responds to those complaints almost immediately. Please issue your complaints on Twitter, @MicrosoftHelps. Maybe we'll be heard there.

    After 15 years of avoiding having a Twitter account, I just now created one and Tweeted to @MicrosoftHelps asking them to either revert the change or allow us to choose the Quick Actions location ourselves. Won't you join me in Tweeting them? It can only help our collective situation. Please take action now while it's fresh.

    At least you got a response, I got nothing. What I would like to know is WHY they did this, and why they didn't make it something you can move back, since it's such a stoopid change!

    I too have yet to receive a reply. It's super disheartening. If I do get the generic reply that @MikeD-md did, I'll be sure to reply back that hundreds of folks have done just that with no results.
