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!!

    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.

    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 :-)

    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.

    Can someone provide the proper link we should use to submit an official report/request to MS? The field chooser option needs to be re-enabled.

    Hey everyone! I tried the new Outlook and did not like it because the 'field chooser' option was missing.

    I spoke to my computer networking guy, who said I could revert to the old Outlook version. Look for that option in the top-right corner of Outlook, which toggles on and off. I have 3865 Exchange, so it could be different from your version of Outlook.

    I purchased a new laptop in August and was concerned I would be forced to use the new Outlook. No, there was an option for both the new and classic versions of Outlook. Thank goodness!

    Hope this helps!
