I need to know how to add columns to my Outlook Folders. Those settings did not migrate to the new Outlook. There is no option to change columns with the Field Chooser. Very frustrating. Please help!!

    Already have a O365 subscription which allows use of classic version (for now). The nag button wants to switch to the new version which has less features.

    It seems that M$ is trying to merge the web version functionality with their local client which results in loss of functions.

    I switched to new Outlook today after one of my issues was fixed (ie. sorting folders), only to discover another showstopper issue. It's back to classic Outlook for me.

    I wouldn't hold your breath for Field Chooser to be included in new Outlook. According to the below link for classic vs new feature comparison, Field Chooser isn't even a feature of classic Outlook!

    Wow,

    Seems like many staples of Outlook that provided value have vanished. Usually indicating a poor management decision.

    That option is only available on the client app not on the web app.

    We have policies in place that only allow the outlook client to access our network exchange servers exclusively; for other email addresses we must use the webclient ie: office365 / outlook.office.com

    So True! My computer guy said just go back to the original version, which I did.
