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

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

    Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately, this does not help me any further.

    I am looking for a way to add additional columns to the inbox. Next to the sender, the subject and the date, I would also see the size of the Email.

    How can I do that?

    Hello Stefan,

    To change the Mailbox appearance on MAC,

    1. Open Outlook and click Outlook > Preferences from the menu bar.
    2. Select Reading.
    3. At the top, choose the Display density. You can pick Comfortable, Medium, or Compact.
    4. Next, select your preferred Message list view options. You can show a preview, the sender’s image, and group the headers.
    5. If you like a Focused Inbox, check the box for that next. Then your messages will be sorted into Focused and Other.
    6. Finally, mark the options you want to use for Conversations. You can group emails into conversations and have them automatically expand when selected.

    The steps above " I pulled from the Microsoft documentation: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/customize-views-in-outlook-for-mac-257d7104-5c90-4ee3-bad2-9935ab424c64"

    I hope this helps.
