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!!

    On top of this I add another problem. In the old version, we do not have CoPilt possibilities. Only in the new outlook. I even do not want to think about the persons @ Microsoft, who delevoped the new outlook. Hopefully with an update it will get solved.

    I completely agree with you. The company I work for have brought it in and it will be mandatory to use this version of Outlook.. No having Field Chooser is ridiculous and has made it harder to work with. How can Microsoft no add this. I hope they update it so we have this function.

    I find it astonishing that in a MS forum, the one party that does not feel it useful to respond is MS itself. There is nothing on the product pages to explain the loss in functionality or the rationale to do this? MS use to be associated with grown up enterprise but it seems to have joined the "google" way to doing stuff. Minimum functionality for the same or more money. I think I will hang on to my old Outlook binaries and stop upgrading as long as I can. The new system is unusable.

    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.

    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!
