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.

    Moving the quick action icons to an area where their use is no longer a quick action...

    Bold Move MS!

    For those like me who find this annoying as well as idiotic, on a chromebook I can hit Alt [backspace] and delete emails.

    Facing the same problem. First thought it was a bug, but it's 'by design'. Unbelievable. Feels like 'a change because we were looking for something to do' instead of 'a change to improve'.

    I'm using a narrow screen (width 1024px) and the Quick Action Icons are now displaced on top of the 'received' column. It's a mess. Please change back.

    Hello Don,

    I'm Diane, an Office Apps & Services MVP specializing in Outlook, and I’m happy to help you today.

    I'm checking with support to see if it's a bug or intentional. Have you tried logging in to your account using a private browser windows? It will rule out caching problems.

    For what its worth, I still have them on the left - if the change is intentional, the server your account is on was updated first.

    Thank you! This fixed the problem!!!

    Very ANNOYED with this UI change ..... I'll send in feedback as a complaint but for now I'm changing the quick actions settings to remove all quick actions. What this accomplishes is that quick action icons revert to the space at the end of from and before subject just as the description in settings shows. To set an action on an email which now has no quick actions just right click that email for the actions context menu. To remove an action icon, same thing, just right click for the context menu of that email.

    I despise workarounds for changes that are NOT well controlled and well published. Shame on Microsoft!!
