It provides zero value... and I argue a negative value to have to hover over every appointment reminder to see when it is due/overdue...

either let us adjust the width or make it wider by default

Hi Tom,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experiment.

I understand how inconvenient it can be when the time information in the Outlook Reminders window is not fully visible, especially when you have several appointment reminders to review. Having to hover over each reminder just to determine when an appointment is due, or how long it has been overdue, will create unnecessary extra work.

Unfortunately, Outlook currently doesn't allow users to manually adjust the width of this column. Your suggestion to allow users to resize the column, or to increase its default width, would be a significant improvement.

Therefore, I strongly recommend submitting your feedback through the Outlook · Community. Feedback submitted through this option is sent to the product team for consideration in future improvements.

Once you've submitted your feedback, feel free to share the link here in the comments. I’ll be happy to upvote it to help bring more visibility.  

Additionally, as other users have raised similar concerns and may not be aware of where to share their feedback, I hope this response helps clarify the situation. Highlighting this information can make it more visible to others in the community who may be facing the same issue, making it easier for them to find guidance and contribute their feedback as well. 

Thank you again for your time and for raising this important usability concern.
