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

    Hi, I went through that too in Outlook with the calendar. Turns out even though my laptop's time zone was set correctly, my Outlook calendar was on the wrong time zone. Your setting might be around the world somewhere. Check your Outlook settings in calendar for time zone and select the correct one. Might be set to the wrong one. Good luck!

    I've just been forced to switch from Legacy (it just stopped working) and I'm having the same problem! I'd also like to add new columns but can't. Also had a problem with my calendar. The calendar entries transferred from Legacy automatically BUT the dates of entries are all one day earlier! Now having to move them manually.

    Sorry, this does not help. As user I would really love to have this resolved. I really need to add additional columns to the inbox (to/size).

    Personally I do not like this new version, too many options are not available anymore.

    When I returned to legacy outlook for Mac, the column choice and sorting returned the way I like it. Not sure why MS can't figure out how to keep functions when they create new versions of programs.
