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.

    I agree, mouse cursor is always on the LEFT, now you have to move to RIGHT to use quick action icon - can be annoying after doing a lot of mail sorting - really doesn't make a lot of sense.

    They have also added another unwanted feature - if you move a message from Junk to Inbox, you are forced into 2 more mouse movements and clicks, you now have to uncheck a box, then click OK, to move a message, otherwise, that sender will be saved as a safe sender. Again makes no sense - it was already a simple task to create a safe sender, but now you are constantly required to reconfirm who goes in your safe sender list - very annoying !!!!!!!!

    Is there someone at Microsoft that can undo these changes, or at least make them optional ?????

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

    No, the columns are not movable on Hotmail.

    It appears to be due to an update - I'm waiting to hear if its intentional.

    Unfortunately using a private browser window makes no difference. The issue just appeared one day last week. Same problem on any computer and any operating system (Windows 7 - 10). Occurs with any Browser (Microsoft Edge, Google Chrome and Mozilla).

    It seems to be something to do with Hotmail - is there some way to move columns around in the settings on Hotmail ??
