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 ?????

    Yes, this is ridiculous.

    Now you have to 'read' the whole line and then hover over the buttons, then scan back to see if you have the right line to eg. delete.

    Did they even try this new location out themselves??? Or do they use Mozilla Thunderbird? #sarcasm

    I found my Quick Action column moved to the right this morning. I spent an hour trying to move it back to next to Senders, then I found this forum. I haven't tried the mentioned new issue in moving Junk to Inbox. I'll assume that's happened to me too.

    On Quick Actions, having to go all the way right makes it too easy to act on the wrong message, PITA.

    I don't like it; I want Quick Actions and moving Junk back like they were. They worked fine before, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
