The Quick Action Icons (Delete, Move, Mark Unread) have moved - they were originally next to the SENDER Name, now they are on the far right (after the received time column) - how can I move them back to the original position ?

See image - they are at the GREEN arrow, I want them back at the RED arrow.

    How is this not rectified yet? terrible design. I believe they have done this because that's how gmail is set up and they are just copying them, ironically the reason I prefer outlook over gmail is or was the location of the quick actions.

    This would suggest moving the icons was deliberate and not a bug. (I was hoping it was a temporary bug)

    As it looks like the icon behavior has now been further modified to only show up when 'mouse over' is on a particular message.

    This does not improve the situation as you still need to look back to the left to make sure you're on the correct message before then looking back to the right to make a selection.

    It is disappointing if this is by design as it seems very counter intuitive.

    Just happened to me today - 17-05-2022. The icons were in the CORRECT place before I restarted Edge to apply the most recent update. When Edge relaunched, the icons were on the WRONG place (all the way to the right). My screen is very wide and with the icons that far to the right I can't see in a single glance whether I'm operating on the correct email.

    This is not a good change. If someone requested this fine, but at least give us an option to choose where is most convenient for the rest of us.
