How do I add a column to the new Outlook (Category/Size) to allow email to be organised by those fields.

In the old Outlook I had additional columns in my inbox, alongside From, Subject, Received, such as Size, Category, @...

I can't find a way to add these back to my mailbox in the new Outlook. I've tried view settings and the 'help' feature but there's nothing in reference to this.

I'm a Windows user.

    Really, this feature is not part of your new Outlook? And yet you forced this new version onto all of us? I use categories as a vital part of my workflow. This is unacceptable.

    Also waiting for this feature to be available. This is one of the main reasons why I won´t use New MS Outlook. The other one is that it is not possible to group emails by Category. New MS Outlook is a waste of time if such important features are not yet implemented

    When I switched to new outlook view, I had by default 3 columns - From, Subject & Received and it has been working fine since last 6 months until recently when I played with some view settings and now From & Subject are together in one column.

    Does anyone know how to get the 3 original columns back? I have been trying for many hours, with no luck!!
