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 am so annoyed with the alteration on the inbox screen, not only are the quick action icons moved across the page, I cannot see my folders on the left hand side, why, why do something like this?, give people the option to stay as it was, don't mend what ain't broke...will the person who thought this up stand up and be counted!!!? probably not

    Yes - thank you very, very much for the tip, Tupay! Like many others I, too, wasted way too much time trying to put things back the way they were. I would much, much prefer that the full original functionality could be restored, however.

    There is absolutely no reason why Microsoft is not providing a simple - and obvious - configuration setting restore the previous functionality. Based on the feedback this change also smacks of ZERO user testing - at least not by Outlook.com users!

    GIANT STEP BACKWARDS MICROSOFT - PLEASE GIVE US THE OPTION TO RESTORE THE PREVIOUS FUNCTIONALITY!!!
