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 get a lot of unwanted emails that I don't necessarily consider spam. I use a wide screen monitor. I like being able to quickly scan the sender's name and the subject, then clicking on delete if necessary.

    Now I have to play this game of mousing over to the right side, making sure I am highlighting the correct row then click. I dislike gmail because of this and have even deleted the wrong email accidentally.

    Perhaps it's a limit of my understanding, but I don't get why this is considered a better move. Is it because gmail is more popular and they're trying to make it easier for people to switch? I've always felt gmail was inferior to hotmail in function.

    I entirely agree. It is very annoying. Why haven't we heard from MS yet ?

    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...

    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.

    I totally agree. This is so incredibly confusing and wasting time! and opens to error, duplicating unneeded action.
