Default the column bar is missing

Dear All,
I am working in Microsoft Outlook 365 and Windows 11 Pro. The e-mail message pane should have a column bar at the top (in most case, that column bar contains "importance", "attachment", "from", "subject", "received", "size", "date", etc, so user could easily click on the category to sort out email messages). However, it was missing in my version. Is there anything missing in my Outlook settings? How can I restore that column bar?

Thanks for your support.

Regards
Charlie

Exit Outlook, exit all other applications, and shut down your computer. It may not be enough to "sign out" or "sleep".


Restart your computer and open Outlook. Has the column header returned?


If not, it may be a high-wire act to restore the column header.


1. Click "View".


2. Click "View Settings".


3. Click "Format Columns".


4. Click "Reset Current View".

If the suggestion from AlanCantor doesn't work.

Please see this Microsoft Support article and reply with what version of Outlook it says you are using.
