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

    ... I hope we can carry on using the old version until I retire!!

    Good luck with that!

    As you can see from my earlier Post (Nov. 13) I 'switched back' to the 'old' Outlook desktop app - using the toggle switch - and now nearly all my incoming emails are treated as Junk!

    As for the compatibility between the desktop app, web interface (outlook.com) and Android app versions, it is laughable!

    Fortunately I've not had that issue and have been able to toggle between versions without any problem.

    disappointed is an understatement. I think this New Outlook is so far simplified that it is worse than the old Windows built in "Mail"

    I can't even figure out how to rearrange the columns so that received is not at the very end of the list. Terrible Program.

    Many thanks for this link. It felt like this forum was just so much shaking our fists at the wind.
