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

    No doubt they got tired of people complaining.

    They've already proved beyond any doubt that they are excessively belligerent, pompous, and incompetent. I am an Office 365 customer, and I assure you, they are goosing me along with everyone else.

    Next move? Probably deleting these "support" forums.

    Take note that our thread was quiet for a few days. As several of us have mentioned already, they are simply waiting for us to roll over and die.

    The idea to stir up some publicity about this is a good one, with "this" being defined as the total lack of response on the "support forum", via the now-removed "feedback" link, and Twitter. If we are able to generate some bad publicity, they may step up their game and provide us with useless canned responses instead of totally ignoring us.

    In the meantime, get yourself a Mac, Chromebook, or a Linux machine, and start planning to migrate your e-mail from Microsoft.

    Crazy Microsoft loves doing this ****; they seem to do similar things with every new version of Windows. They get us used to something, get us to form habits, then they change the layout or remove sensible features entirely.

    How would it be if the major automakers occasionally swapped the positions of the brake and gas pedals, just to keep things fresh? Or heck... windshield wipers are not really needed to drive a car, are they?

    Looks like the new ribbon now includes the up/down arrows!

    However the original issue that lead to this post is still unaddressed.... Still no possibility to move the quick actions back to where they were.

    In fact, as other users have already pointed out, in the settings, the description of quick actions doesn't even match the new location.
