Outlook 365 - Icons on Message line have moved to the end
Hello,
In outlook 365, until last week the icons on picture below (red) were at the start of the line, just after the sender's name. Now they appear at the end of the line, not practical at all. How can I move them back where they were (blue on picture)
- Also find this change affects the amount of time and effort to Action multiple emails. Please add this as a configurable feature.
Hlalibe1965Agree that this was a dumb move. Was there no user input? Perhaps it was in a beta version that we didn't use.
Agree - there should be an option to revert the location or the choice to have them left or right of the listing of each message in the inbox. Hlalibe1965
- 100% agree, this is a very annoying change, especially when I'm working with an ultra wide screen! Please move the icons back to the front!
- It seems a lot of users are voicing this frustration. I think that was one of the most tone deaf things Outlook has ever done to their layout. In that respect, it is no longer user-friendly. Here is my copied/pasted response to them:
(On the current Outlook email layout the "mark as unread, flag, pin & delete" buttons are on the far right of the email body which is VERY inconvenient. It used to be the "mark as unread, flag, pin & delete buttons were in between the "from" section and the "subject" section. That previous setup was very very convenient as a user didn't have to move their mouse all the way over to right side of the screen to manage what they wanted to do with said email. It was a quick, seamless setup. Now, its the opposite. I would hope Outlook would bring back or have the option for the user to move those said buttons where they want. Can we actually have an option to remove these columns entirely? They are of no use to me and just take up valuable screen real estate.
