The New Outlook does not appear to have Field Chooser to customize Outlook Folders

I completely agree, Cathy. It does seem that Microsoft show little interest in certain discussions or ideas from the general public who have supported their products for many years.

While updates and changes are undoubtedly the foundation of progress, when they come at the expense of productivity (as highlighted in this discussion), Microsoft needs to take greater notice and listen more closely..

My mind is blown at how this issue has persisted for a full year and Microsoft still has yet to respond.

For anyone else whose searches for a solution led them to this thread, leave a comment about how disappointed you are that Microsoft continues to defy all reason and needlessly disrupt a perfectly good workflow by taking away basic features found in every other alternative email client, but still demands we give them money and run our businesses with their buggy, insecure, nonsensical operating system.

Keep this thread going forever so they have to acknowledge their failure.

I truly hope Microsoft collapses in the coming years. It would not make up for the decades of frustration they have caused me, both at work and at home, but it would be a great start.

Imagine thinking removing something as basic as being able to edit columns in an email view pane was a good idea. Fire the person who had it.

Ridiculous that such a basic feature is missing!

It is frustrating beyond belief and is why I continue to remain with the old Outlook, even though I'd prefer to switch to the newest version. Basic functionality removed, for reasons that just aren't clear or apparent. I don't have the same frustration with Microsoft products and frankly generally like them a lot. But this is a weird situation (not clear if it is oversight or a specific decision) that I've not experienced in other Microsoft products over the last 25+ years.

This definitely needs to be fixed - having additional columns is a huge efficiency measure, in sorting and filtering and in scanning for certain messages.
