Answer 1

To change the column width in Outlook, you can follow these steps:

1. Change Column Width in Mail View:
   • You can drag the vertical column separator bar to adjust the width of the columns in your mail view. This will allow you to set the minimum width of each column.
2. Display Additional Columns:
   • To add more columns to your mail view, you can customize the view settings. Look for options to add columns in the view settings menu, where you can select the fields you want to display.
3. Save Changes:
   • After making adjustments to the column widths or adding new columns, make sure to save your changes to retain the new layout.

These steps should help you customize your Outlook 2024 mail view effectively.

Answer 2

Hi,

If you are asking about New Outlook, in the New Outlook for Windows, the ability to customize columns in the message list view is currently limited or unavailable. If this feature is critical, it is recommended to switch back to the Classic Outlook by toggling off the "New Outlook" option.

For Office 2024:

1. You can manually drag the border between column headings to adjust the width as desired(the arrow changes when it is in the dragging mode).
2. To display additional columns, go to the View tab and select View Settings, then click Columns.
3. In the Show Columns dialog box, select the desired column from the Available columns list and click Add.
