Add or remove columns in the inbox

You can add or remove columns in some folders and views, such as the Inbox and other Mail folders, contact lists, or task lists.

Important: In order to use these instructions, you have to switch to a view other than the default view.

Change your view to show columns

In order to add and remove columns, you must use a list view. The default view for the Inbox is Compact, showing messages grouped by conversation.

To switch your view to a list view:

  1. Select the View menu, then Change View.

    Select Change View to pick a new view.
  2. Select Single or Preview.

Add or remove columns in a list view

  1. On the View tab, in the Current View group, click View Settings.

    View Settings command on the ribbon

Use groups in the outlook mobile app

Microsoft 365 Groups are now available in the Outlook mobile app. Use groups to start, read, and respond to group conversations. You can also join and leave a group right from the Outlook app.

Browse your groups

You'll find a Groups node in your folder list. Tap that node to see all the groups you're a member of. Here's an example from iOS.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I get the Outlook mobile app?

You can find the Outlook mobile app in your device's app store.

How do I delete a conversation?

You can't delete a conversation from the group mailbox unless you're the owner of the group or the conversation. Deleting conversations from the group mailbox is possible in Outlook 2016 and Outlook on the web. If a copy of the conversation went to your personal inbox, you can delete the copy. The owner of the group determines whether copies are delivered to member inboxes.

Finish task field

Data Type    Date

Entry Type    Calculated or entered

Description    The Finish field shows the date when a task is scheduled to be completed. You can have Project calculate the finish date or you can enter it yourself.

How Calculated    Project calculates the finish date based on the start date, task duration, task dependencies, the project calendar, and other task constraints. If resources are assigned, Project also considers the resource calendar and assignment units.

If you enter a finish date for an automatically scheduled task, Project assigns a Finish No Earlier Than constraint to the task and uses your entered finish date as the constraint date. If your project schedules from the finish date, and if you enter a finish date, Project automatically applies a Finish No Later Than constraint to the task.

If you are using Project 2010, and you enter a finish date for a manually scheduled task, the date is simply entered as is, and Project does not assign a task constraint or make any other scheduling changes.

If you enter an actual finish date that is different from the scheduled finish date, Project changes the scheduled finish date to match the date in the Actual Finish field.

Best Uses    Add the Finish field to a task sheet when you want to review or filter for scheduled finish dates for tasks. The Finish field appears on the Gantt Chart view by default.

Example    You need to filter for all finish dates scheduled after March. You filter on the Finish field to see only those tasks scheduled with a finish date beyond March 31.

Remarks    In a manually scheduled task, you can enter a valid finish date, or you can enter text such as TBD or unknown. A manually scheduled task is considered a placeholder task until two of the three scheduling factors—start date, finish date, and duration—contain valid schedule information.

When you enter percent complete or actual work, Project might reschedule remaining work around the status date, and this can change the scheduled start date. If you prefer, you can leave these tracking fields in the project as originally scheduled, even if completed work is shown in the future or remaining work is shown in the past.

You can do this in the Project Options dialog box. Also, you can set the status date to a date other than today's date in the Project Information dialog box.
