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)
Hlalibe1965 We would like the same fix, please. This occurred at the same time as described above.
- I agree. The new button placement is very inconvenient. Having the buttons close to the sender and subject made it easy to perform quick actions without moving my focus (and mouse) away to the side of the screen, particularly when in full screen mode on a high resolution monitor.
- If ever it was a change request, we should have the possibility to bring it back where it was too. Honestly, these are quick action icons, so they should be close to the cursor when I'm reading my mails. Now, I have to move the mouse to the end of the line to display the icons, to mark it read and delete. No more quick action icons.
I, too, was completely shocked and aggravated about the change. It is entirely counterintuitive. Microsoft should ask folks about these things before moving them, or at least allow us the ability to change them back to where they were. This is ridiculous.
Hlalibe1965 , Yes I am very distracted by this change too. Microsoft, please move the icons back to the original position.
- Totally agree too – no response from Outlook so far though! Been trying desperately to change the layout to how it was, it seems impossible to do.
- Use the Feedback tool, under the '?'next to the Settings gear to report:
Please put the quick action buttons back between the 'From' and the 'Subject' columns.Did that, thanks!
I too do not like the move and find it very awkward to use. I have submitted feedback.
- I used the Send Feedback tool also. Not only did it take me 20 minutes to find the buttons but the flags are now over there also.
- Not only have the buttons moved but if you choose to flag a message the flag is now on the far right. The prior configuration and functions were 'near center' they needed to be.
Totally agree. Additionally it is not possible to move the column, and so if we display the "MyDay" window, the actions are no more visible
