Using New Outlook on Windows for personal email, calendar, and contact management
Ridiculous that such a basic feature is missing!
The New Outlook does not appear to have Field Chooser to customize Outlook Folders

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!!

2025-01-27T11:39:46+00:00 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!

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!
