New Outlook Layout - How do I add more columns (Size of Mail) to the inbox?

Anonymous

I am now using Outlook for Mac, version 16.79.3 (23120117) and am extremely surprised by the new layout, which is missing various information / settings.

For example, how do I add additional columns (such as Size of Mail) to the Inbox?

I also wanted to switch back to the old version. -> Legacy Outlook. But after the switch I have to enter all email accounts again. However, when entering the account under IMAP, the "Next" button is highlighted in light grey and cannot be pressed. Email accounts can therefore not be entered.

Outlook | MacOS | Legacy Outlook for Mac | For business

    I am also a frustrated user...

    Hey Microsoft Knowledgeable Experts are you there!

    Any advice or acknowledgement of missing functionality?

    "Talk to the hand, 'cos Microsoft don't listen...".

    Give users 'new' functionality, then take it away and ask them to pay extra for it!

    I guess the situation is the result of Microsoft's hiring policies, which are the same everywhere. You all know what I am talking about. Codding teams just don't know how things work. Good lesson for all of us

    Hello There, sorry but the Layout Options does not provide for any modification to the number of columns etc.

    Thanks for the updates, everyone. I want to reiterate that the biggest issue in my mind is that the main "central" inbox for all accounts no longer supports a column that allows you to see to what email the message was sent. The only way to verify to what email (because of the way your identity is managed) a message was sent is to manually click through every individual inbox to find the message. For those of us who manage multiple email addresses, it is utter inefficient and deeply frustrating that such a basic sorting functionality is available. It's all the more enraging that this "may" reappear. Thanks for sharing everyone!
