    Hi, I just had the same issue. I was able to fix it. Chose the compact view like suggested above. Then change the reading pane. To do this, View --> Layout-->reading pane-->right. This should fix it, and bring you back to the normal layout. Hope this helps!

    I had the same issue. When you're in your Inbox, go the Current View-->View Settings-->Other Settings...-->Ensure "Use compact layout in widths smaller than 125 characters" is checked. That reverted it back to where the sender name is larger.
