To Column in New Outlook Inbox

While it's not unusual for users to complain about a new release,
(I'm guilty of this myself), reading this forum, it becomes apparent
that with Outlook's new release, MS has removed a number of its
most used and useful features.

I'll add another one to the pile:
I miss the To column in the Inbox and there doesn't seem to be
a way to add columns to add headers/columns to any email list.
But the To column in the Inbox is particularly useful in distinguishing
whether an email is coming to me or the whole staff.

It used to be easy to add columns, just right click, but that solution
doesn't seem to be available in the new Outlook.
I looked around for this forum, asked coworkers and it looks like 
this option just isn't available in this new release.

If anybody knows a way to do this, please let me know in the reply.

Contrarywise, please let me know if there is a forum to formally
request features or whether MS looks at these posts and takes them
into consideration for subsequent releases.

If they do, please MS, consider adding the customization of columns
for Email Lists to subsequent Outlook releases and, even better,
make the To column a default for the Inbox...

    Come on Microsoft, please sort this product out, you have made people move to a much more rigid interface and people really hate it. You need to allow people to customise columns, this is NOT rocket science.
