Columns and reading pane right

Please add the ability to view mail in columns while still having the reading pane to the right. This functionality works great on the Windows side, but I can't seem to figure out why it's only available with no reading pane, or when the reading pane is below the email...

    Is there any plans to implement this feature? Is Microsoft reading these comments? I'll will switch to Thunderbird because the lack of this feature.

    Please bring the right-side column pane column to Mac. It is very helpful to have calendar, today's appt's, and flagged items when the mail view is pulled up. It is very annoying and unproductive to always need to flip between mail and calendar to see a snapshot of the day while going through email.

    I am dying to have this feature in Outlook for Mac. It is simply absurd that Microsoft would not enable this feature. Just shows the lack of love from Microsoft for their products that run on mac. Microsoft: It's your product and you want people to love it and use it, not run away from it OR be frustrated with it. Frustrations can easily spill onto other MS products.

    What is the point of having a feedback forum like this when a highly upvoted basic issue is still not fixed after more than 3 years?

  • Lars commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Please fix this. This is such a big frustration and should be basic functionality. And NO, our employees are not moving to Outlook for Windows because of this. The alternative is non-Microsoft solutions for Mac.

    Come on Microsoft, this should be an easy fix. In the interim at least make the message view customisable in the basic display you get with right reading pane enabled.

    Can somebody from Microsoft comment, why this cannot be implemented? I'm planning to cancel my subscription and move to Thunderbird.

    Please ADD this feature -- I have switched to Thunderbird because this feature is missing and I cannot get the density of emails on my screen that I am used to. Having used Outlook for over a decade on Windows, and now switching to a Mac, I am truly struggling.

    I just don't understand why Microsoft doesn't fix this issue. It can be done very easily I'm sure. Just fix it. If not, why not?

    it's possible on the outlook for windows so why this feature had been disabled for mac version

  • Petra K commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This was possible in Outlook 2011, but it's somehow - inexplicably and incredibly annoyingly - been removed. I've always had the reading pane to the right and columns showing. Today, after getting help with another issue from Microsoft support, the columns are now gray. Infuriating and frustrating.

    Unbelievably annoying for my workflow, makes me consider other mailing apps ...
