New Outlook Layout - How do I add more columns (Size of Mail) to the inbox?

Anonymous

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'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.

    Same here - the easy dialogue old Outlook had to add, delete, rearrange columns from my message list view is either gone - or difficult (as evidenced by the numerous people looking for it) to find.

    SAME! Over a year later and this has not been addressed. Very disappointing.

    Why doesnt the HORRIBLE COMPANY fix these issues. What the hell are they working on that is more important that fixing the NEW OUTLOOK **** issues that keep it from being able to be used by most people. Those using it seem to be using it at a much disadvantage!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    110%. Our entire organization had issues with New Outlook, so we're all now using Outlook 2016 again. We are also looking at alternatives due to Microsoft engineers heading in the wrong direction.

    8 Best Alternatives to Outlook:

    1. Superhuman
    2. Gmail (or Google Workspace)
    3. eM Client
    4. ProtonMail
    5. Front
    6. Spark
    7. Thunderbird
    8. Spike
