    Microsoft literally don't care anymore what the users want.

    They've moved from human-centred-design to Microsoft-centre-design.

    Well guess what, my next laptop is going to be a Mac and I have hated Mac's all my life, but I am done. This is ****.

    How do you see a date in the field chooser. i understand that the field chooser does not exist, but a simple heading like Date is also missing. i want to see the date and the time - both of these on the top pane.

    Many a good times i receive an email from the same person, 15-20 times in a day and the same subject and it makes it easy to search the email with the date/time, both fields.

    Pay the ransom. Buy a license for the Real Classic Outlook.

    To change your view so that you can see From | Subject | Received Date, go to View Settings > Layout > Message Height. Make sure you select "Switch between one and multiple rows based on screen size". This fixed the issue for me.

    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.
