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

    Probably worth adding your votes to these as well, as the one you've linked to has been logged under the classic Outlook category and not under 'Outlook (New)', so it might not get picked up as quickly.

    Thanks.

    It's frustrating that Microsoft make it sooooo difficult to make suggestions, or give Feedback - but I guess that's their intention!

    For instance, in the Android version of the Outlook app, if you select 'Help and Feedback' it takes you somewhere irrelevant!

    It's shocking they haven't listened to feedback and fixed it by now. I explained this is why I'm going back to old Outlook, and this came up -

    Wow, this is appalling that such important features were removed and still not available. Switching back tot he old version requires re-entering all accounts and I have 9 email accounts for different companies I work with. Can anyone confirm that the older version is fuly functional before I switch back?

    Hi, I tried new Outlook a couple of times and then would switch back to the old version and each time functionality in the column categories is still working for me in the old version. Nothing changed in the old version. I don't know if that is the case for everyone, but it works for me. Good luck!
