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.
The "To" field is very important - it tells me whether the email was addressed to me specifically, or to a group of recipients, or to someone else with me being copied in only. It is crucial for quick prioritisation.
Unbelievable that Outlook would remove the ability to sort emails the best way the USER wants to see it - just got a new notebook PC and can't stand using the email now- wow get this fixed.....
Any updates on this? This is deal breaking!! Please restore!
I'm with everyone else, if in the near future I am forced to move to the new outlook, I desperately need the field chooser option.
On my current outlook 'old version', I've noticed the field chooser option not appearing when I create a new folder - very frustrating. The work around I have found is that I copy an existing folder that still has the field chooser. It's a daft way of doing things, but for now it works.
Microsoft is going to ask me how satisfied I am with this reply.
I'm very pleased with the reply - it agrees with me - but if I say I'm satisfied, I am 100% confident Microsoft will interpret that as "problem solved" and ignore the problem.
I am confident that Microsoft looks at the large number of replies to this issue and thinks, "This is great, all these users collaborating on this issue and helping each other. what a great community."
And I'm also sure that (after the first couple of times when they posted solutions that don't work), they have not read these posts.
They still don't know that EVERYONE is saying yes, this is awful, I hate it, I'm not using the new one, I'm looking for other mail tools, I'm looking at alternatives to Microsoft.
Personally, I hate it so much I am retiring. Well, ok, Microsoft is not the ONLY reason, but, goodbye!
