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 have no settings in the "View" pull-down menu. I would be happy to send you a photo of what the "View" menu looks like in my case. There are only the settings for the toolbar. But there are no layout options there?!?

    I would be pleased if you could explain to me exactly how and where I can find the layout options.

    Hello Stefan,

    I will be happy to help you with your question, I am a Microsoft consumer and Independent Advisors who cannot access accounts.

    The new Outlook for Windows brings the latest features, intelligent assisted capabilities and a new modern and simplified design to your Outlook app.

    Concerning the issue you are experiencing with the layout of the columns in the new Outlook application, you can change the layout of the application to your desired taste. Kindly follow the steps below to achieve this:

    1. Launch the Outlook application.
    2. Click on the View tab >> View Settings
    3. From the View settings page, Select layout. On layout options, you can choose the way you want your inbox to be displayed.

    I hope this helps.

    However, to switch back to the old outlook application, please check the steps in the Official Microsoft documentation below: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/the-new-outlook-for-mac-6283be54-e74d-434e-babb-b70cefc77439#:~:text=How%20to%20switch%20back%20to%20Legacy%20Outlook
