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.

It doesn’t let you customise anything other than what it wants. If they retire it I will be swapping to apple 😂
Xero have done the same thing and changed the inv layout which will be the only option in Sept and it’s &@$:)
It is frustrating I use a customised column for notes, sort things into categories, etc. The new version has gone backwards to basic it’s so frustrating. Yesterday I had to help my Mum and she has the new version and it won’t swap back to old and seriously I felt useless, it keeps changing back to conversation view regardless how many times I have changed it. It just resets it to the default and I couldn’t find anything, it had random draft messages. They certainly need to sack the person who designed this program.
I see how you can add new columns, but I do not see any way to put those viewed columns into an order that works for me. Do you know a way to rearrange the columns?
Same issue, lost most of the abilities to customize and create a nice workable view. Moving back to old version. Sad will be the day if this just switches one day to the new version.
