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.

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.
No, you can't.
This new outlook is a bad marketing ploy. a toy from a child's first cell phone.
Post was from 2023, but it is still not solved in 2025? Amazing, just amazing. It is not just Mac, even Windows version. It almost like the new generation of developers never used the software they developed when even something considered basic in the past is not even present. They all just focus on refreshing the looks to be simpler on THEIR eyes
When I returned to legacy outlook for Mac, the column choice and sorting returned the way I like it. Not sure why MS can't figure out how to keep functions when they create new versions of programs.
Sorry, this does not help. As user I would really love to have this resolved. I really need to add additional columns to the inbox (to/size).
Personally I do not like this new version, too many options are not available anymore.
I've just been forced to switch from Legacy (it just stopped working) and I'm having the same problem! I'd also like to add new columns but can't. Also had a problem with my calendar. The calendar entries transferred from Legacy automatically BUT the dates of entries are all one day earlier! Now having to move them manually.
