Option to hide or always show the column header row in new Outlook 365 on MacOS
Right now when you hover over the header section, the column header appears and hides automatically, which moves all the mails below it up and down. I'm getting really sea-sick! 😛
Please add an option to hide or permanently show the column header. Also would be nice to remove the folder name there, I usually know which folder I'm in.
Thanks for raising it, just here to prove that I find it annoying as hell. Especially the unintended re-sorting of my whole inbox when I only want to open the top email list entry.
Please MS, get that fixed!
- Just signed in to ask who in MS think this is a good idea
its terrible and drive me crazy
sh... developersNot sure if it's fixed for good, but yesterday I switched my Mac Outlook v 146.46 21012005 back to standard mode (not new Outlook mode)
Today I switched back to New Outlook mode
and all of a sudden the poxy header row has remained static without floating in or out when the mouse hovers near!
So, for now, the issue is fixed!

YES!!!! This feature is so incredibly frustrating! I have really enjoyed all other aspects of the New Outlook but, just as someone else mentioned, I keep accidentally opening and deleting emails. It has really hindered my productivity since I switched over. Microsoft, please make this change in your next update. I feel like I am about to lose my mind sometimes!!
Hello, Microsoft! It's not like this is a beta!
pe-te thanks for raising this. I'm finding this very frustrating! I keep deleting emails by mistake when the row auto-hides, and it's stressing me out! Would love for this to be a togglable feature too 🙂
misterbuck any update on this annoying issue?
I'm seeing this on 16.42 and I agree - it's terrible!!!!
If I want to open the top message in the list and I'm not PRECISELY accurate in my mouse movement, the column headings slide into place and I end up sorting my entire inbox by whatever column happened to be underneath my mouse pointer at that second. So frustrating!!
Other than that, I love the new interface!
I agree - why include such an obnoxious feature without the option to turn it off?
- Yes, please. I only expect things that I need to click on to move in a video game. I'm not sure I even understand how automatically showing and hiding the column headers adds any value whatsoever. It's just bad UX.
