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!!
Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
Not adding the ability to add a "To" field is unfathomable. It should honestly be part of the default setup. Please add field chooser to the app.
I also am still using the old Outlook - and I guess that will become unavailable in due course, but in January I retire! HOORAY!
When I ca choose my own mail software I plan to explore what else is available, and not use Outlook. Fingers crossed.
I confess I am not enthusiastic about Co-pilot. The whole Teams experience has made document control more confusing and difficult, in my opinion. I have lost more document content in the last year (due to OneLook manically saving everything at every keystroke) than I lost in the last decade or two from forgetting to save.
Teams seems to be designed to protect people from the consequences of being idiots, and it can't.
Though yes, please, do keep me updated on and developments, or top tis for Co-pilot!
And thanks to everyone on this thread for the moral support about Field Chooser :-)
Cathy, fortunately at my work I can still use the "old" outlook, but soon they will force us to use the current version. In the old version co-pilot was not available in the past, but I can use it now, which is one positive thing, finally. I guess we should keep each other updated.
Indeed.
No response or sign of interest from Microsoft.
I fear they interpret all the responses on this question as "the community" helping each other around the problem.
Whereas in fact we are all just raging about it and agreeing with each other that the new outlook is worse than the old one.
(I have not found one new feature that's useful, but I have barely used it due to the lack of "Field Chooser". )
Many thanks for all the support!
That is indeed what I was thinking of. MS does not get involved in the discussions. It is their own damn platform we are talking on. Something like, dear sir/madam, we are looking into to this and will give you an update. I suggest they use CoPilot to advise them on their own work.
