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.

Hello all - agreed on eveything said in this thread. Recommendations of the best alternative mail programme (not Apple)?
Walter Roth1 said, "I also like to see the TO column, the Attachments column and the SIZE column."
Yet one can filter the Inbox by Size, Importance, Has Files, Calendar Invites, etc? I am cautiously optimistic there will be an update soon, but I cannot understand why the product would launch without such basic functionality.
Hi Walter,
I use a lot of extra columns and often resort them when looking for something plus I add a note column for text to write little notes to remind what I am waiting for regarding emails. Hard to believe after 5 1/2 months since this original question Microsoft still haven't tried to fix it. I have to use my Mums "New Improved" Outlook and it's still useless!
Luckily, I was able to go back to the old Outlook and just ignore the prompts would you like to change :)
I tried a few and the most versatile is Thunderbird and BlueMail.
Once you set it up, its great. I use SMTP, and I set to not download or keep local copies of emails so that emails are kept in the cloud as much as possible. Unified inbox feature is great too.
On Android, i love nine mail.. But I have not found good.Alternative on the PC.
