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.

    Shucks, why break a perfectly good operating UI. the icons were already in the perfect location. Now it just doesn't seem to flow.

    I agree. It is difficult to quickly use the delete icon, I have to be sure my eyes are staying on the correct line. Why mess with a good thing? And I hate the way Outlook now arranges emails on the iphone.

    No reply from MS, did we all really expect one regards this!!

    they are probably having trouble finding the right button to press for reply.....

    It's hopeless seems they have no customer care interest at all...

    This is frustrating. A 6 year's old child will not make a mistake like this. I am deleting the wrong messages and pinning the messages that I intend to delete!. You cannot align the whole line from left to right correctly when you are going through hundreds of emails daily.

    Please correct this issue asap before everyone switch this application to Gmail for good.

    Thanks so much Tupay. 

    Here are what happened to me.  (1) I followed your advice, de-select all the quick action icons.  Indeed, the existing Pin and Flag icons are next to the Sender.  But if to remove any of them, it'll need an extra right click for the drop-down menu, then choose the icon to be removed.  So, I prefer to put them back, albeit to the bad location.  Then I did (2) select them; now they are all the way to right, next to the date column.  HOWEVER, this time, the icons appear ONLY next to the message that your curser is pointing to.  This is helpful to avoid deleting a message by accident. 

    I still hope MS can put those icons back next to the sender column.

    Tupay, Thanks for the tip AND the fix. Icons now next to senders name. MS should of notified of this change. I got to waste 30 minutes of my day until I found this forum.
