Outlook should make it EASIER to move the flag column.

[Guest]

After installing Outlook 2003, I discovered the "flag" columns were all set
to the far right side. Based on Microsoft's own instructions, they should be
able to be moved anywhere. But, they are NOT.

I wanted to set them like I had before in Outlook 2000, to the far left.
Every other column is moveable, except the flags. They are frozen to the
right side.

Now I learn from Microsoft that they are not moveable in Outlook 2003. Why
is that? Seems like it would be easy to change something like that. If it
was possible to do before, something has been changed to make it impossible
now. Could Microsoft maybe change it back?

Right-click on the field header and choose Field Chooser. Remove the flag
field and add it back in again where you want it.
